Sorry for the poor quality picture, beautiful nature spoiled by the combination of lousy cameraman and crappy camera

What a nice place! I guess what you saw is Rasbora. Not Tetra. Because they are from South America and Africa.

[Angkau Tekor]

Wow...Cway, that are very interesting photos you got there. I bet you had a good time there, nothing beat seeing natures first hand. Did you see any neps along the way? If you do pls share some photos ya.

[LJ_Tan]

Thank for sharing.

I may plan to visit on next year, this year schedule was full....

[rhealk]

Wah, I want to go!

[sooxiwei]

lim, saw a lot of rabrosa, betta pugnax, shrimp, halfbeak(pikehead?), particularly one that is in orangy red color, very interesting since the behaviour is more like betta than it's kind, also lot of crayfish/shrimp, did not venture into the black water spot since I didn't bring any net with me

tekor, no nep spotted lah, else will stay there for one day to tapao pictures oredi

if wanna visit, got to make it fast, the forest is clearing for development, the water fall with crystal clear water that allow people to see through the bottom will be gone in no time...need to bear the risk of trespassing to reach the water fall, about 2 hours jungle trekking to reach there

[piscesilim]

What fish in orange colour? Halfbeak or Rasbora?

[sooxiwei]

halfbeak, only saw one, stay near the bank, when I attempt to catch it, it start curving like betta, all others will only swim straight and fly off when I am near them

[NepNut]

Nice trip and nice pics... no nep meh??

[sooxiwei]

enter at 9am morning, when I'm out of the place, it's 5pm plus, not a single nep spotted, but I do know n. gracilis spot in cyberjaya, in a park, lot of them
