Ngapang, the idiot fish
(Scientific name: Glyptothorax species)
- Ngapang [Nga=fish, pang=idiot] means the idiot fish. But are they really idiots? No!! In fact, they are hill stream fishes.
- Just imagine how a creature in a stream would withstand the highly torrential and forceful water current.
- A moment of carelessness and the animal would be washed away; crash-land on a rock and face the consequences.
- Nature has given the fish the facility to adhere to the rocks. The chest has the adhesive device to attach to the bottom so that they are not washed away.
- In this process, they remain motionless and we think that they are idiots.

Are we not concerned about the
conservation of these prospective
fishes?
