Rare loaches in the Ba Ho Waterfalls

The Ba Ho Waterfalls end in a gently flowing river, and here we set up our base camp. From there we went along a shallow mountain river to the first waterfall. After some climbing we reached the second waterfall, after even more climbing the third, and the toughest amongst us even reached the fourth waterfall. The climbing itself would have been quite pleasant, if not for the whole equipment, the cameras, a respectable temperature of 36 °C in the shade (and there wasn’t any shade), which made it all a bit more difficult. The advantage was that this way the whole group was distributed along the 4 waterfalls and the river course. Directly under the crashing water of the second waterfall (and only there), Bernd Schmölzing, head of Fischimport EFS and I discovered a flat looking fish species on a stone, which seemed to live only there. We looked in vain in other areas for this fish species, but had no choice but to catch a specimen directly under this waterfall. I was busy trying to take reasonable photos of the animals, whereas Bernd, half buried under the crashing water, attempted angling under difficult conditions.

Previously unknown loach

After what seemed like two hours Bernd had a specimen in the net. It was a loach unknown to us and quite similar to a hillstream loach. Later Dr. Kottelat helped me to determine the species by means of the photos we had brought along. It was an Annamia species.

Search for invertebrates

The search for invertebrates was also very interesting. The only snail we found was an ugly brown snail with a short clunky shell. The shrimp field had more to offer. There were shrimps of the stenopodidae family living in a cave next to the second waterfall. We saw at least three more shrimp species in the river, probably Caridina species.

PUSH messages from JBL

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails). Notifications appear on the end user’s device, just like an app (e.g. for emails) installed on the device.

These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).

Web notifications are part of the W3C standard and define an API for end user notifications. A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event, such as a new blog post, outside the context of a website.

JBL GmbH & Co. KG provides this service free of charge, and it is easy to activate or deactivate.
