Poor Imparfinis! These are harmless little catfish with the most amazing barbels and subtle colouration. We don't see enough of them in aquaria. Thanks for posting. To see apistos in fast flowing water with no cover was quite surprising.

Yes, to me this looks like a river in Canada with tropical fish in it, even above the surface

I was surprised to see how much the Astyanax resemble Brycinus longipinnis from West Africa. Real interesting video and the footage does as you say resemble a large aquarium. Great upload!

@belowwater 2 ай бұрын

yes, they are quite similar in behaviour also.... those big Astyanax are not the best for small tanks.

The narration makes this video, both literally and figuratively, LOL. Excellent camera work combined with a fascinating story makes these fish that much more interesting.

Good day Oliver. The abundance of fish in those rivers is incredible and those red plants are gorgeous. Here in Trinidad i've caught what i think were two spot Astyanax juveniles at maybe 2.5 inches in what i know as the St. Joseph river. They were silver grey with of course the two spots and very faint colour in the fins. However in our Santa Cruz river i've seen what i can only describe as huge tetra like fish some with very rich bright red fins and others with very bright yellow fins. The body colour may have been that silver grey also but too fast moving to determine if the spots were present. What could these 8 inch fish have been ?

I am a big fan of you work, it was a big inspiration for coming back to the hobby. Do you know anything about the biotope of ember tetra?

@belowwater Ай бұрын

you mean _Hyphessobrycon amandae_ - the two videos "Rio Araguaia 1 & 2" are filmed in their habitat, we just kept footage of them for later.

Is the red Macarenia grown in the aquarium trade? What a spectacular plant, looks like sea algae

@belowwater 2 ай бұрын

no, and i don't think it would do well, the Podostomaceae are dormant for much of their life cycle, it's also in a national park where it can not be collected
