collection trip in india

I arranged a collection trip near a canal at about 2kms from my place(kolkata,west bengal,india).
team:aritra(jr),rahool,my cousin and me
photography:Rahool

We thought we will not get much plants/fishes as rainwater just poured into the fields,ponds at that place..I planned to visit that place and check the condition,and then to arrange a bigger trip.

we reached that place at about 12.30pm...the water in the canal and fields were totally black...In the canal we first saw a few hornwort sp.we got exited and followed the sideway of that canal,we noticed a lot of hornworts there.



got some lilles-

unknown pant 1.ID?

unknown plant 2.ID?


hornwort-

unknown plant 3.ID?

everywhere in the water there are so many hygrophilla difformis growing like grass,looking awesome,by we couldnt take much photo of that beauty because of cloudy sky and the black water....we collected a few milfoil sp,a a few unknown aquatic plants.hygrophila difformis-


got some native killifish-



suddenly I noticed a ludwigia sp looking almost ludwigia brevipes(just the plant is totally green),,,we got just amazed,ludwigia brevipes like native plant in W.B.?!I am sure its aquatic.



we were very upset as we didn't catch any fish from there,a few times later I noticed some very small fishes running in the water,took out my net and caught some,,fishes were looking like badis badis(I am not sure).we haven't any pic of them,as all of them died at the end of the day.

hunting for plants and fishes-

me and aritra took out the bigger net(mosquito net) and came into a pond,we caught some small fish like creature and thought some tadpoles and going to through it away,suddenly aritra shouted "bumblebee goby",and I was shocked to see 5-6 b.g. in the net!!!we got very very excited..and tried to catch more,20-30 gobies we caught with 5-6 glass fishes and some(2-3) Oryzias javanicus!!!Oh god,we finally made our trip successful!we were very very happy at the end of the day.
