Lepidocephalus thermalis
Rasbora daniconius
Puntius Sp
Channa gachua
From a fisherman's catch :
Salmostoma Sp.???
Puntius bimaculatus
Too long ago to remember what this was!!!!
Esomus danricus & Puntius bimaculatus
Cardinia Sp
The view.
The spots did looking promising but the catch was quite disappointing. In addition I managed to steal a Mystus with a damaged lower lobe from the fisherman. The lobe fell off en route.
We decided to visit a different part of the hills a few weeks ago. Wasnt expecting too much this time around. Our interests also lay in tasting homemade Biryani (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biryani)from a colleagues house in that area.
The collection spots.
The fish collected :
For Rupert and L Number Banana. D.aequipinnatus I think.
Garra mullya
Cardinia Sp ???
Schistura denisonii. One of the nastiest loaches ever!!!!!
Channa striata
Rasbora daniconius
Puntius bimaculatus
And we thought Plecos were bad news!!!!! Guppies!!!! Of all colours!!! This is a very
remote region and there is hardly any hobby related activity here. So we have no idea how they got here.
Quite sadly, we ran into horrifyingly huge populations of Tilapias and Gambusia s too.
There was a small water body that was filled only with 'em.
And the grand finale!!!!!!
Biryani!!!!!
Any visit to South India will be considered incomplete without at least a single plate of Biryani.So there s some good food to go with that cheap beer!!!!!
