Another new species of Paedocypris found at Belitung island. I think nobody found this smallest fish there before. The interesting thing is that...it was found in clearwater river! (Usually it lives in blackwater river). Never before got this kind of fish discovered in clearwater river. Amazing!
First time in our life found the most beautiful rasbora patrickyapi at Belitung island....
