Wild Baby Kelah

The freshwater mahseers of Malaysia, locally known as Kelah (Tor tambroides) is a threatened species in the wild as its population has been greatly reduced due to pollution, loss of habitats and overfishing. I was glad that during my usual trip to the jungle for my photography sessions, I came across a small population of Kelah in the wild (fries) and hopefully, they will get their chance to continue growing...

First, there're still the Rasboras...






A school of tiny fries (about 3 inches long)...given the right conditions, they can live for a very long time like a koi, exceed a meter in length and weigh over 30kg!
