  1. Mayan Cichlid (Mayaheros urophthalmus) spotted at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Singapore on 27 Dec 2024. The Mayan Cichlid is native to the Americas and probably introduced here via the aquarium trade.

  2. Fish photos for a change. 🙂 My first clear shots of halfbeak fish, probably the Stripe-nosed Halfbeak (Zenarchopterus buffonis), taken at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Singapore, on 27 Oct 2019.

    Halfbeaks get their name from their mouth: their upper jaw is much shorter than their lower one, an adaptation for feeding on food near the surface of the water.
