Some months too late but nevertheless a short response:
1. The area where Parosphromenus tweediei can find is only a area of plantations, almost no forests anymore. Still one can catch tweedieis there. I’am confused that licorice gouramies can survive in such area but it is possible. One factor could be the remaining peat.
2. In the north of Selangor I caught only three Betta livida in two houres. The small creek in the forest right side is dried up and the larger creek in the middle become fast flowing, so no lividas can found there. But Parosphromenus harvey can live in these creek good. However I think this is a natural situation. After more rain one can find there more Betta livida (this situation we had in April 2011).
3. The area of Northselangor was (is?) dry. One plantation burned! It seems to be that there was nor rain since weeks.
All in all the situation is not significantly changed. It’s like one or two years ago.
