Thanks for sharing this beautiful

All I can say is Wow, as beautiful as it looks it is also so sad, but the clarity of the water and the plants and fish look so beautiful, just like an aquarium, I would of never expected something like this in Austria.

I enjoy this so much! Amazing content, best wishes to you and your future projects! 🌻

Incredible, thanks for sharing

Absolutely fantastic video tour 🙌 👌 ❤

Thank you for the very interesting video about tropical cichlids (and not only) that have perfectly adapted to life in this stream fed by underground thermal springs. The list of tropical fish and plants is incredible!

What an amazing adventure! Thank you for sharing. 👍

The creek is beautiful. Being from the US seeing non native fish in areas they dont belong in is sometimes concerning but i also understand thatnif the non natives are not affecting the local populations of wild life how they can be enjoyed as just part of the current ecosystem

Amazing share. Tks a lot!

This was epic! Man the colors on these fish were stunning, even the convicts had very vivid coloration!💯🤙🏼

Thank you. What a treat. Hi from Australia

Probaby one of thr most concerning species there are the sunfish. Sunfish are bulletproof. Lots of species look as colorful as african cichlids in breeding season though. Awesome fish to keep.

Wow 🤩 So nice creek and video 😉 Marc

Great video Chris 👍 thanks for it

Very cool! Never thought I would’ve seen those fish there! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Chris, great video!

lol the Hongi was begging you to take him home, he realized aquarium life was easier =D

Amazing, planning on trip next year all being well, i will gladly visit this place, thank you for sharing

Thanks for sharing! This is awesome!

Wow that's so cool 👌 beautiful fish 🐟🐠

If I'm not mistaken Pseudotropheus sp. Acei is now referred to as P. elegans

Great video

BEAUTIFULL :) THANK YOU FOR SHARING :) THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)

Loved your video!

Amazing ❤

Ancistrus dolichopterus is currently considered the proper name of a different species, and the common bristlenose is usually referred to as Ancistrus cf. cirrhosus. While I'm not an expert on Cryptocoryne, I do know many of the species have multiple strains some with very different looks, and even within strains looks can vary greatly with living conditions. It doesn't look like any strain of C. usteriana I know of, at least as they looked in the conditions I've seen them in, but then again, my knowledge is limited. Personally I'm not so worried about a few tropical fish in micro habitats in temperate regions. Not that I think it can't be problematic, just that it's kind of insignificant compared to what we transport in other ways, intentionally and unintentionally by travelling and transporting goods. It can be surprisingly difficult introduce a new species to functional, well developed ecosystems. Just the lack of co-evolved competition, predators and pathogens/parasites doesn't make an introduced species invincible, the fact that an introduced species hasn't co-evolved with all those threats in the new ecosystem is probably usually much bigger disadvantage than the freedom from co-evolved "problems" are, assuming a reasonably well functioning ecosystem. Except for diseases, some parasites that and probably a few other exceptions, like some predators maybe. Another specific situation is when the introduced species carries some disease that doesn't affect it as much as it affects the competition in the new habitat. While I'm not encouraging release of fish, neither from other continents, or even from other waters in the same country, without a proper understanding of the potential consequences, including potential spread of pathogens and parasites, it would be interesting to know if some wisely chosen predators could be used suppress specific species more than others, or even eradicate some species, ideally without eradicating non target species. If done scientifically, by actual scientists, that might produce useful knowledge. Prime targets for such research to control should probably be the species that can survive outside that micro habitat. In the case of the crayfish I think it would be interesting to find out how much effort it would take to eradicate it completely, using any reasonably safe and uncontroversial method, including using traps.

5:30 cryptocorine growing in the background? The yellow tail acei looks amazing!!! Their colors are beyond any I have seen in aquariums.

😊😊😊like😊😊😊

Great video. I can't believe people throw fish in ponds to "get rid" of them, give them back to the fish store?

Wow

sprenger 's iodotropheus Iodotropheus sprengerae is clearly visible in the video several times, you forgot to mention it in the list at the end of the video!

i like aquarium fishis in ponds :3

Interesting that there are gudgeons in the creek. They should not be kept at temperatures >22°C they say. Otherwise very cool, even though I think one should be cautious with New World species, especially from North America and Southern South America.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. Where exactly is this? Name of the place or GPS?

👀

How are these tropical species surviving in Austria?

Pseudotropues aceii yellowtail

Vallisneria Gigantea...not Spiralis.

I can't believe people are still dumping fish into the environment... Thankfully most of them can't spread too far but it's still sad to see the educational gap in society about invasive species.
