Hi guys!
Here's a video of a beautiful stream habitat I explored alongside my friend Juliana Leroy, in the arid north-east of Brazil.
We get a look at Pikecichlids and tetras, and plants such as Cabomba, Mayaca and Heteranthera.
I hope you like it!

The vision of you moving against the flow gave some beautiful effects.

Wow! We sure are lucky to have you! These are the scenes of my dreams! ❤❤❤ Thank-you! It had to have been difficult having to leave. At the same time, it's hard not to wonder if the next adventure is going to be even more breathtaking.

These places should be a national treasure in SA. They should be highly protected. Thanks Ty.

Leaving aside the depressingly familiar impact of agricultural runoff what struck me most was: The quality of light, red/orange/warm NOT the blue or mauve of so many specialist aquarium plant lights - no wonder my plants like cheap warm white LED floodlights and my expensive (don't ask) aquarium plant grow lights are largely gathering dust in the loft. The sand substrate, Father Fish would feel endorsed. No baked soil pellets in this body of water, yet thriving plants. Surprisingly little mulm, and have seen plants in Europe thrive when crusted with sediment, it is a common enough phenomenon. Sad to hear so many fish have been released and are affecting the diversity of species, but then, it is grey squirrels in my garden. Thanks Tai. Excellent video, much appreciated. Real food for thought.

Fantastic video!👍 The two things, which made me a bit sad are the agricultural pollution and the invasive species. I hope, this will recover one day by whatever measure. However, great to see that this stunning habitat at least still seems to be in a good shape, overall.

Are these the same waterlilies that you have in some of your home aquariums? What is its name? Thanks.

Do you know for a fact that algae is there bc of farm runoff or is that speculation?

@biotopia5319 2 ай бұрын

The person I was exploring the stream with is a botanist specialising in aquatic plants, she had visited this stream on a number of occasions and noted the algae expanding in tandem with agricultural development in the areas. Agrochemicals along with soil erosion and nutrient increase (due to removing trees and marginal vegetation as well as more cattle trampling riverbanks) can both cause algae. Algae can be a natural phenomenon and its often present to some degree, but blooms and ever-increasing amounts over time suggests an imbalance, which is almost certainly an anthropogenic consequence.
