Freshwater fish in Indonesian Bali island

[odyssey]

May 2012,I went to Indonesian Bali island.
Many rivers of Bali were muddy, but were able to photograph a freshwater fish a little.
Because there is not the knowledge of the fish of this species, I do not know the name.

Some video clip are uploaded in Youtube.

Are swords and guppies native to Indonesia? I have no idea. We find a variety here in FLorida, but I don't know which ones are native and which ones are released.

Are swords and guppies native to Indonesia?

No.

So those beauties must be introduced. Not great for the environemnt, but the fish look good.

Interesting that of the 3 species in the picture two of them are invasive. Same thing round here- most rivers are loaded with invasives, mainly same swordtail & guppy from pet-industry breeders. Native/endemic livebreeders/gambusia & killies are having a tough time, but the predatory mullet & gobies love 'em like popcorn.

Hi everyone!

Unfortunately many rivers of Bali seem to be filled to an invader.
I watched swordtail and a guppy in Philippine Cebu.
I also watched swordtail and a guppy in Okinawa of Japan.
The tropical zone of the world and the subtropical local river may be influenced sometime soon by a guppy and a swordtail.

Our fish farmers have their ponds flood during storms, so our lakes and rivers are filled with non natives. A few are also released pets. Our rivers are very interesting for collecting.

Hi Odyssey, I'd guess the only native fish would be those Puntius Binotatus ?
