Hi guys,

would like to share some pics of North Borneo (Sabah) river which I recently went. In fact, it was just yesterday.....


A man made path for crossing across the river


Here's a car crossing across the river...


That's my lil sis, checking out the river....see the crystal clear water...


Perfect habitat for Borneo Suckers

Actually I made a blog post about this trip. You can read more bout them here...

Sorry for a rushing reply Thanks again and have a nice day everyone

Wonderful....Marvelous!!! Thanks Borneosucker!! 29.56, Yikes!! It seems that they can tolerate quite range of temps. PH and KH were a good bit different than the last test also. Is the high temp due to low water/dry season conditions?

Superb!!

I suspect that the temperature could be due to the drought. But then again, I took the reading around afternoon. Temperature definitely will drop few degrees in the night.....Probably the species we are discussing might be able to tolerate those temperature range

Thank you for showing Gastromyzon aeroides and G. extrorsus.

I am glad to have you show rare Gastromyzons.

The water temperature of a flowing river is surprisingly high in 29.56 °C.

Because the temperature of the air will be considerably higher than water temperature, it seems to be extremely hot!!

I'm glad you guys are happy with my simple informations, I will look out for more rare Gastromyzon and share their pics with you guys, when time permits.

Oh odyssey, the atmosphere is even hot, I guess average of 34°C everyday. Sometimes even higher. Very hot weather here in Sabah this days. It just make you feel like dipping yourself in the river/waterfall...haha

hi BS

can you do me a favour next time you have a chance...to pick up some stones to check what creatures live around and on the stones?? what consistence is the ground made of ? sand gravel or mud??

how are the stones if you touch them...filthy, clean, dusty?

these infos would be great...
