I’ve been three times in Malaysia and have brought every time Paros.
Basically, nothing should be taken from the wild and exported to other countries.
Paros do not always come in black water before, paludicola for example, alfredi and rubrimontis occurs in clear water, and certainly a few other species. But most of Paros are sure to find in the black water. The equipment will be used for the fish is clear. Safety net, waders, container to collect the animals during the catch, transport containers and fishing bags or containers for the return journey.
We have mostly caught Paros on the first or second day in Malaysia and then in part three weeks transported to return them home alive.
Transports we have the animals in 18x13x5 cm flat and transparent bowls with lid, can be bought anywhere in household goods for a few cents, you can very well be stacked in styrofoam boxes. As transport water we osmosis water that you can buy as drinking water used, in every night we did 80% water change and now and then fed to a bit with Artemia.
Nets You can save you just need space in your suitcase. In the budget shops there are great noodle sieves, to purchase up to one meter in diameter, for a few €, prefer to take 2 pieces, otherwise you are angry when damaged a screen at the biotope you. With the sieve under the riparian vegetation, lift and shake the bushes, Paros then fall into the sieve. With a band I have bound me a bucket with a lid around the belly in which I then collect the fish and herziehe behind me. I am indeed in the water and start in the riparian vegetation and would have to bring every time out of the water to the fish in the box to the country.
