Those jungle perch would look stunning in a big group in an aquarium, the water is also a lot warmer than I expected it to be considering what time of year it was filmed!

It was cold enough. But i have seen the same jungle perch in Madagascar, in 30C. I think they can adapt really well. They are really nice looking fish.

@@svenwiberg2563 Just a pipefish. It was winter, but given how venemous local snakes are it would be not wise to get that close, the island is famous for the endemic Habu vipers (Protobothrops spp.), sadly in winter they are hard to find.

@belowwater Жыл бұрын

at this time of the year, in the subtropics (Amami Oshima is quite far north) there are no small fish, and i would guess that the juveniles of all these fish are in the estuaries, so you would not see them even in summer (I assume). If i see some fish with young of course i will try to get it on film!

Since the power shortage and issues with Fukushima the hobby there has taken a hit, so you don't really see a lot of native species in the hobby there either. LIke most countries there are some legal issues with collecting native wildlife. Check out the video with all the native fish from the Aquatoto Aquarium i made, there are certainly a lot of cool native fish in Japan.
