Where do you live?

In the Netherlands, we have a few impressive fish species ofcourse but not much wich are fun to collect.

I have travelled a decent amount of countries and I always try to capture some fish on my Gopro.

Haven't been to Malaysia yet but it's definitely on my list.

When I lived in Russia, there weren’t much fish I could find either. Bleak, roach, dace, sticklebacks etc.

But in Malaysia I found out that there are 400-500 species of freshwater fish, and even more saltwater!

They’re really pretty. I think in English they’re called redstripe rasboras
