Freshwater fish of Malaysia's rainforests

Malaysia's rainforests are incredibly diverse in freshwater fish species. Our trip to Malaysia in 2019 was mainly focused on terrestrial animals but we were fortunate enough to witness some incredible freshwater eco-systems. It was wonderful to see common ornamental species such as the Betta, Spiny Eel, Halfbeak and Borneo Sucker in their natural habitat.
Fish species in this video include:
Mahseer (Tor douronensis)
Loach (Garra borneensis)
Borneo Sucker (Gastromyzon sp.)
Loach (Protomyzon whiteheadi)
Loach (Glaniopsis hanitschi)
Spiny Eel (Macrognathus maculatus)
Common Barb (Puntius banksi) - Re-identified as Clown Barb (Barbodes everetti), thanks Michael Lo
Spanner Barb (Puntius lateristriga) - Re-identified as False Spanner Barb (Barbodes kuchingensis), thanks Michael Lo
Sarawak Rasbora (Rasbora sarawakensis)
Forest Halfbeak (Hemirhamphodon pogonognathus)
Brilliant Rasbora (Rasbora einthovenii)
Stone Loach (Schistura robertsi)
Blue Danio (Danio kerri)
Penang Betta (Betta pugnax)

Malaysia needs to protect its precious Flora & Fauna before they are gone from industrial or building waste! Thank You So Much for the Clear Video & for the Names of these Malaysian Native Fishes! 🌍💜🇲🇾

I live near brackish area in borneo. When i was a kid, i always caught snakehead, gourami and Anabas testudineus. I kept gourami in my tank and always remind me of my childhood.

[@joeting41511]

It’s cute to see them curious about the camera. It’s like fish staring at us as human being. How lovely 🥰

[@microwavedcheetos]

Is it just me or do the bettas know they're being watch?

[@dudeff2657]

Bettas is really easy to catch.. But i release it to keep their existence

[@fishyboii8023]

I think they are just curious about the camera.

[@lemonlizard1]

haha seems like it! They're so curious its adorable

[@user-vp9kp9up4g]

Отлично сделанный фильм! Узнал многих рыб. Я снимал много видов на Борнео. Больше всего меня поразили стеклянные окуни в ручье у отеля Damai Lagoon Resort. Автору желаю удачи и продолжения работы. Жду новых роликов про рыб !

[@liquidbrickle]

Lol bettas are the best. So much intelligence and attitude!

Thank you!

[@aerosma5021]

Amazing quality!

[@limthiensang-9434]

How did you keep the camera still when shooting Gastromyzon sp as water current at its habitat is normally strong? Thanks for the good quality video.

I like tropical-fishes, but I didn't know their wild. Thanks for sharing

Very nice video sir

[@user-nn4oy6jm8u]

Очень хорошо, камера неподвижна, позволяет спокойно смотреть.

[@andrewdking]

Love the curious Bettas. They can see themselves in the camera lens reflections. I know the similar male Betta Splendens will attack their own image in a mirror. I once demonstrated this when I took mine into school in a jam jar

[@fadzilpictures]

I support,👍👍

[@alvinwong7544]

Do u see a type of fish hanging around the surface of water? It's elongated with pipe like mouth. I took a photo of it 10years ago and my cousin told me Balingan, sarawak has them.

[@thanalincoln]

Halfbeak?

[@alvinwong7544]

@@thanalincoln I don't know. The photo was taken in a shop 10years ago. I forgot where did I snap it. Else I would had go back and ask the name of it.

[@wailmerpail]

Hi, great, and crystal clear video. Are you sure the betta is pugnax? I´ve never seen pugnax with yellow colour elements on the body.

Please, what kind of underwater camera did you use to take those shots?

[@nlwildmedia]

Gopro 7!

[@imrichdo]

​@@nlwildmediavery nice pictures. Thanks

[@lanhod]

ughh..i love freshwater fish and to think they exist up in the jungle of higher altitude is fascinating. anyway, do they originated from the ocean and find their way up the stream then continue to evolve for thousands of years 🤔

[@akhileshthapa_fishbro86]

[@danielarumugam1822]

only once catch bettta on lake near my home

[@pjq420]

That species usually seen in the aquarium actually wasnt a local one .people were irresponsesible dumping it into our ecosystems when they no longer interested to it and it can does harm other species for its nature of being.

The eel?
