These are really great pix. Thanks for sharing them. When I was in Singapore, I spent far too much time hanging out around PSA Sembawang Terminal (before it got a PAC designation) and far too little time looking at the good stuff. In my time, here in the U.S., I kept both mud skippers -- in brackish water -- and archer fish. Have you been lucky enough to see the archers shoot down an insect with a stream of water? We used to go to great lengths to get them to do this, and they were remarkably accurate! About that mantis bean. If you put it in a pot, does it really grow into a mantis tree?

Thanks again.

Hi

Nice. It reminds me of Segara Anakan Lagoon, the biggest bracksih water system on Indonesia's main island Java. Oh, looking these pictures and I cannot wait anymore to visit SE Asia again.- Luckily, I will be on Bali and Java for the next year

regards,

Stefan

Yes, I'm terribly curious about the purpose of the mantis bean! I thought maybe a larva of some kind was wriggling around in there. Or maybe you drop it in water and it expands into a foam mantis?

???

Its just a childrens toy, they make these little beans with different designs on them and the novelty of them is whenever you throw them they upright themselves, pretty simple really.
