It would appear Dr. Ng is using an optical microscope and calipers to obtain biometrics of that candiru-like preserved fish in the plastic Petri dish. No?

As to what the good doctor is doing yes. As to what fish it is, I can't tell. I was thinking of some kind of Ompok or other similarly shaped fish. That's just a random guess.

It's actually a Silurichthys. There are Amblyceps and Glaridoglanis in all of the other bottles. All unnamed. Also a couple small bottles of Olyra elongata (that species awaits revalidation).

Nice to see the science marching on and attacking the undescribed 40% of the total fish species. I feel so close and intimate, a hair away from included in the cutting edge taxonomy R&D. But that's just me :)

As for my earlier comment, it was meant as an "obvious" and obviously silly dig at our dear Eric :) where I pretended to explain what was being obviously done haha... I apologize if missed or deemed borderline improper. Straight face was a part of the farce but hard to translate unambiguously through electronics.
