Loved the pleco shot! You badly missed Koi carp and TIGER SHARKS!
And you know why I missed the trip; Yeti spotting was more important.  |

Thanks to Marcus and Chinny, we had a great trip!
Balaji,
Great write up - as usual
Sai, Bala, Shankar - you are all excused for not coming. But Iam still looking out for the chicken-guy who got married 6 months back and still honey mooning!!!
Shankar,
I have the 3 badis from the trip.
Sai,
We collected awsome woodshrimps for you, much colorful than the ones from Talakona. They are all waiting for you in my Oscar tank. 
Regards
Prasoon |

Cool snaps by Prasoon and a hilarious writeup by Balaji. The snake man is Chime (pronounced as chimmy)

show us the mystus, i really doubt u found any, cause when u are around, most of them just go underground
i was surprised with a subcker man found in the local water body and the hemichromis bimaculatus was also a crazy find, how the hell did they find their way there ?????
|
Mystus pics is in the write up. All those nightmares from Sakleshpur are now put to rest. Mystus do exist in water I collect in after all.
Subckers are everywhere here. Infact collected fries from the same place last month.

| Man Balaji, you should seriously consider taking up writing. Thoroughly enjoyable read. Btw, amazing treasure trove of natives and um.. exotics. Nice to see the natives' resilience. |
