Sungai Cisaar, Ciletuh Hills, Indonesia
Indonesia, East Java, Mekarjaya, Sukabumi Regency
The biotope in the Ciletuh Geopark area, located in the southern part of Sukabumi, is very different from the typical biotopes in other parts of Java. Geomorphologically, the landscape of Ciletuh and its surroundings is part of the Southern Mountains of Java, forming a giant horseshoe-shaped amphitheater consisting of undulating mountains with highly varied elevations, with the highest peak reaching 360 meters above sea level (MASL).
Along the fault line, there are eight main waterfalls, one of which is Curug Larangan, located along the Cisaar River. The geological history and geographical features of this area have led to habitat isolation, particularly in the rivers near the waterfalls, which are isolated habitats and home to a type of goby fish (Sicydiinae) that is better adapted to living in the strong currents of rocky rivers.

As the name “Curug Larangan” suggests, this area is traditionally a forbidden zone according to local wisdom, but in recent years, it has become a tourist attraction.

Comment by the expert
Heiko Blessin:
Heok Hee Ng: The description of the habitat is reasonably accurate, but water parameters are lacking. Streams in this area are also likely to have other fish species (e.g. Rasbora spp.).
Greg Martin: Excellent work. I would have liked a few water chemistry measurements from the wild location.
