Since long it has been accepted that Lake Singkarak in Central Sumatra is nothing else but a remnant of a gigantic volcano - the Singkarak volcano - which once blew off its top to form a lake.
Singkarak also known for its endemic, the Bilis fish (Ikan Bilis or Bilih). The Bilis fish (mystacoleucus padangensis) only live in this lake.
