It is truly and Emerald isle bathed in green tea hills, surrounded by the blue grey mountains of the knuckles Range. Rising mists hide the mountain tops, while beautiful roaring water falls cascade down their sides ending in gushing crystal clear streams and major rivers, like the Kalu ganga in Rathnapura district and Mahaweli river in Hatton area which has the most number of endemic fish species like the Black Ruby barb (Puntius nigrofasciatus ), the Chery barb (Puntius titteya ), Blackspot barb ( Puntius filamentosus ), and Gaint Danios (Danio malabaricus ). There are other species like the orange Chromide, Green Chromide, Snake Head Catfish and walking perch (Anebes) in the brackish water Lagoons, Streams and Rivers.
