This is the most crowded place of indonesian to live,citizen from all over Indonesia come here to speculate their life.This place is the smallest of 5 indonesian largest island,but has most citizen to live.Central goverment & business centre centere here,so not strange that so many people migrate here for their life. Java has become central civilization from long time ago,there's so many artifacts found here including  one of  wonders of the world,Borobudur.In colonial era european come here and making Batavia as their capital city before Indonesia declare its freedom.If we knew that java has become central civilization from long time ago,it must beautiful place to live.

Besides the rapid development of civilization.This island still has beautiful place ,so many place that tourist come here to spent their holiday,such Bromo Mountain,Tangkuban Perahu Mountain(you don't need climb it to the peak ,we can reach its crater by car),and the place of rarest mammal in the world Ujung Kulon National Park.Not only the island itself  have beautiful scenery but also there are beautiful archipelagos near Java,such as Kepulauan Seribu and Karimun Jawa,and so does the wild life.

javan gibbon
Java has many endemic animals and plants,even the  Javan Eagle becomes state emblem.The rarest mammal live here at the western tip of the island,precisely at Ujung Kulon National Park.The biggest predator that still exist is leopard while Javan tiger has been extinct(We hope it wouldn't happen again).





Highly fertile land in Java makes people create this island to be central civilization.So many farming area grow here,for example; Cianjur become Javan granary,Brebes in central java has delicious onion.grow there.This island has so many endemic plants too,Kepuh,Manggong Bamboo,Keben and so on.The climate is not all tropical forest,We can see savanna at baluran national park and tundra at Semeru Mountain.
 Its culture is no less interesting, gamelan has been popular in the world,wayang kulit become artistic and interesting puppet show, Ondel-ondel is the funniest carnival in Jakarta and Angklung is the most compact music art. Ok that's all for today I hope we can keep Java still beautiful. :)

Untamed Sumatra

"Previously we talked about 5 largest island in Indonesia,today I want to give more detail about each island's wild life.Firstly let's see what sumatra have !"


Sumatra is the one 5 largest Indonesian island,there so many beautiful things inside including the wildlife.The island includes more than 10 National Parks, including 3 which are listed as the Tropical Rainforest Heritage of Sumatra World Heritage SiteGunung Leuser National Park, Kerinci Seblat National Park and Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park. The Berbak National Park is one of three National Parks in Indonesia listed as a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention.This island is unique,the animals here belong to asiatic animal type.
Sumatran Rhino

Sumatran Tiger
Sumatran Elephant




Sunda Clouded Leopard
Asiatic animal occupies the western part of Indonesia until the Makassar Strait and the Lombok Strait.In this region especially Sumatr,a has big mammals like in Asia ,they are orang utan,elephant,tiger, rhino and so on.
Beside of  asiatic animals,Sumatra also have endemic Animal one of them is  sumatran striped rabbit
sunda clouded leopard.But Unfortunately their life threatened by human greed such as deforestation,illegal hunting and pest eradication. Pest eadication often the case in Lampung,because of losing habitat some elephants frequently attack some village near the forest.

Stripped Rabbit
Raflesia Arnoldi
Not only the animals but also the plants,Sumatra has amazing plants in the world.Sumatra supports a wide range of vegetation types which are home to a rich variety of species, including 17 endemic genera of plants.[9] Unique species include the Sumatran Pine which dominates the Sumatran tropical pine forests of the higher mountainsides in the north of the island and rainforest plants such as Rafflesia arnoldii (the world's largest individual flower), and the titan arum (the world's largest unbranched inflorescence).






Ok hopefully it would be useful ,thanks :)

Delta Killifish(Aphyosemion deltaense)

This beautiful killifish is a great addition to any advanced hobbyists collection. There are a few captive bred color varieties but it's hard to improve on something that is naturally this colorful. The Delta Killifish pictured above is a wild caught male.   The Delta Killifish is one of the killifish species from Africa that lives in waters that may dry up completely during the dry season. For this reason, some people consider this to be an annual species but they will live longer than one year if their home waters do not dry up completely. Its eggs are able to exist for extended periods out of the water, insuring the survival of future generations. Since this type of killifish is generally not long lived, they are best kept with the intention of breeding them.

Distribution : 
   The Delta Killifish was described by Radda in 1976. Originating in Africa, they are found in swamps located between the delta of the Niger River and the Warri region of Nigeria. 

Status:  
This fish is not listed on the IUCN red list.

Description:  
The Delta Killifish are extremely attractive. The body is elongated with long broad well-developed fins, and round scales. The head is flattened on top and the mouth upturned, they have no barbels. Males are the most brightly colored. Their background color can variable, light greenish bluish or a tan to light brown. There are dark reddish spots running along the center of the body, forming a broken line that extends through the tail. Another dark reddish line runs horizontally through the bottom lobe of the tail fin. There can be lines or spots run diagonally through the upper lobe as well as spotting on the upper portion of the body. The horizontal lines are accented with edging in a lighter blue-green or cream. The fins and tail are orangish to orange-red and the dorsal fin can also have dark red spots. The coloring of the female is more subdued with fewer colored spots.

Size - Weight :
   This fish will reach about 4 inches (10 cm), but females are about 1/2 the size of males.

Care and feeding :   
The Delta Killifish are carnivores. They will eat most smaller sized fresh, frozen or dried foods but will look their best and will be more likely to breed if fed mostly live or frozen items.
   This fish is a bit demanding to keep so it is not recommended for the casual hobbyist. Because of their relatively short life span of 1 to 2 years, they are best suited for a single species tank that is setup with breeding in mind. If you succeed with breeding them, it would be fine to keep some of the excess males in a community tank so you can enjoy their bright colors. They will do fine in smaller tanks of only 5 to 10 gallons. For breeding, brackish water is suggested.

Water Region: Top, Middle, Bottom:  
This is a species that will swim in all parts of the aquarium.

Acceptable Water Conditions:   
Temperature: 75 - 84° F (24 - 29° C)
   Hardness: 2 - 12° dGH
   Ph: 6.5 - 7.2

Social Behaviors:  
The Delta Killifish are not aggressive towards other species but sometimes the males will fight with each other. The best setup would be one pair per tank.

Sexual Differences:   
The males are brightly colored. Females have little or no color, shorter fins and are usually about ½ the size of the males.


Breeding/Reproduction:   

The breeding tank for Delta Killifish should be a 5 to 10 gallon bare bottom tank filtered by a small sponge filter. Brackish water is suggested. The water temperature should be kept at a constant temperature between 75° and 78° F (24 - 25.5° C). Plants or spawning mops should be included but these are not for specific breeding purposes. They are there to give the female a place to occasionally hide and rest.
   The Delta Killifish is considered to be a substrate spawner. The best way to accomplish this is with a bowl filled with clean, untreated peat moss. The fish will dive into the peat to spawn. Once the eggs have been laid, remove the peat and dry it mostly but not completely on some newspaper. Then place the moss in a plastic bag, seal it and place the bag in a dark area that has a constant temperature of about 78° F (25.5° C). In 3 to 4 months, place the moss in a small tank containing clean water and the eggs should hatch in 1 to 4 days. Feed the young baby brine shrimp until they are big enough to handle larger foods.

Availability:  
It may take some work to find this fish. A few Delta Killifish are wild collected but these numbers are relatively small. If your local fish store is not able to get some for you, try contacting your local killifish club. It is possible that some of their members may be breeding them.
