Corrections since I'm getting too many comments to respond to: - "Cherry barb" was the common name we used on the trip, but apparently the true common name is spotted rasbora. Should've just said Boraras maculatus, this is why common names suck - The "tetras" are just harlequin rasboras. I mispoke. The info about them is true though

Malaysia, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea are the most biodiverse countries in South East Asia. And in the earth/world scale of the most biodiverse countries.. at no 2 behind Brazil is Indonesia.

You know I was having a really bad day but these fish are so unique and I'm starting to feel a lot better. Thanks Zac

these fishes are GORGEOUS holy crap. Never knew that cherry barbs naturally populate such extreme environments. Those wild bettas are so beautiful. And shout out to that millipede, its legs really be wildin....

I'm from Malaysia! Didn't know we had such pretty fish here!

This channel is the reason I got into marine and entomology. Thank you for being so inspiring!! :)

LESSSGOOOOOOOOHHH MALAYSIA MENTIONED🎉🎉🎉

This is awesome. I am actually from Malaysia. It shocked me so much when I saw the title of this video... I am currently in the US studying fish biology as well, could you give me the contact of these people? It would be cool if I could meet up with them back in Malaysia. Did you bring any specimens back to the US?

As a Malaysian, Im really happy to see people enjoy the nature here! Hope to see you in Borneo

I love the difference between a fish tank and their natural habitat. You're so used to see them in these beautiful, colorful, crystal clear aquariums that seeing them in what's basically a muddy pond feels wrong.

This is seriously one of my favorite videos you’ve made! What an amazing trip. I can’t wait to do stuff like this someday

Ayyyy loveeeeee those. Really hope you had an amazing trip and you came back in good shape :) And it looks like you had a blast actually! Thats great! 🐟

I love this style of video also my favourite betta, betta pi @ 6:40 !!!

14:21 this is the kind of historical event I don't mind living through

AVNJ’s adventures are the best. Keep living the dream man!

This was the moment we all waited for. And it was great

My favorite AVNJ's adventures yet! It's amazing seeing all of these aquarium-kept and unique species living in such small, murky bodies of water.

These are literally the fish I keep and want to keep ❤ very cool to see you in Malaysia. There is a user in r/aquariums that lives in Malaysia that regularly post awesome fish he finds in streams and peat swamps by the road. So jealous, pickings are pretty limited here in Aus

The earlier part takes place in I believe an oil palm plantation, they are very common and often cover large swaths of land here in Malaysia. Still surprised to find interesting wildlife there though. I believe the guppies are introduced purposefully to control the mosquito population, they are also commonly found in drains.

Yea we have alot in kulim my hometown i saw someone selling snake heads and walking catfish for sale but I think its animal abuse cause they had no water just being put out in a tub with no water no filter and no air cause its a morning market

Huge Congratulations! And what a journey! How exciting!

I live in Texas and cast nets are the best means of catching small fish and creatures for sure and I’m so surprised it took going to Asia to get with the program

This looks awesome! Can’t wait.

awesome vid, would like to see a part 2 :D

Epic stuff. Keep up the amazing content!

Great Vid! I can see you put alot of effort in to this one!

Thanks for coming to Malaysia Zak! It was great to share the experience with like minded people like you. I also received the much needed help for my PhD fieldwork with you along XD

Yessss. I love these videos! I hope you have a great day!

i have an aquarium with 5 java loaches (closely related to kuhli loaches) so it made me really happy when you brought up the kuhli! they're so wiggly i love em

Spectacular video! Wholesome af and some incredibly beautiful fish!

Love the channel you should stay longer I love these kind of videos on your channel

Thanks for sharing this incredible adventure with us!

Yay! Best series!! When I saw that this is going to be released in around 10 hours I was So excited the whole day. I had to do some work and ten now I’m finally able to watch this. I know I should finish the vid fist but I’m already impressed and want to bump up the algorithm for u! the smallest fish fish is so cute awww we need more of ur adventures it reminds me of Jojos bizarre adventure stardust crusaders haha mostly by the title and topic of journey xD

That must have been a great research trip!

Holy shit last time I looked at your subs you were at like 50k. Congrats man you are blowing up

Yess more AVNJ adventures! My favourite! This one is wild man, Malaysia is gorgeous. I'm sad these types of vids aren't doing big numbers, but hey you are doing something more meaningful by taking us with you. Educating and inspiring others is greater than views lol!

broo cant believe you came to Malaysia and stayed what it looks like at Sunway Hotel! Literally just 10mins away from where I live! If I'd knew i would've loved to join you for this!

glad you had some fun in my home country :)

woahhh that fish that hadn’t been seen since 1967 is so awesome, it must have felt so cool to have pulled that out of the water!

Think this is my favorite AVNJ adventures video yet
