Black stripe capuchin monkeys (Sapajus libidinosus) come to feed on figs and other fruits in the Amazon and Pantanal, dropping fruit in the water below where Piraputanga (Brycon hilarii) eagerly await the leftovers. Come watch this fun interaction of monkeys feeding the fish.

I enjoy seeing a different perspective! I suppose it is possible that a different primate (than humans) may find enjoyment in feeding fish. They seem to be aware of them. Thanks for another wonderful video!

What a treat, thank you, I've been feeding crushed nuts to my fish for years, walnuts sunflower seeds almonds are all relished by Tetras cichlids, fancy goldfish and koi. Silver dollars are extra fun to watch eat as the food moves side to side like corn on a cob

When I first saw the title of this video I immediately had visions monkeys throwing flake into the water, but then I thought of something else. In his book 'The Fishes and the Forest ', Michael Goulding mentions that monkeys in the Amazon and the Madeira also do the same behaviour, where they drop fruits and nuts into the river, thus feeding the fishes that gather and wait for their castings. He describes how the mighty tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) can crunch through brazil nuts with their anvil-like teeth. Awesome! However, something which I found hilarious was that monkeys - being monkeys - did their ablutions in the trees and sent their dumps plummeting into the water below. These were then avidly eaten by the fishes in a feeding frenzy, seeming not to discriminate between fruits and poo. I wonder what the nutritional value of monkey faeces is? I suspect this also happens on the Xingu.

yes, it happens everywhere, I have seen Myleus etc jump up and grab fruit from the trees directly also in the Xingu.

While I'm partial to Squirrel Monkeys ( because I had them for many years) It's hard not to like a Monkey that likes to feed the fish too. 😉👍

Questions: 1st : After the flooded forest water becomes clear like this ? How ? 2nd : Are these areas are protected? 3rd : what water quality these fishes preferred crystal clear ater or the muddy water ? including all the tetras and fish species you mentioned. Always waiting for your videos ❤ ❤and 🙏 from india sir 🇮🇳

@belowwater 6 ай бұрын

The water comes from springs in the ground, and in the headwaters it can flood the forest and remain clear like that, it flushes debris downstream, but so much water is coming out of the spring that it stays clear. Imagine the region a bit like the Western Ghats, where the water coming off the hills is also very clear. Yes, this place is protected, but never enough areas are. The fish do not really care, they occur in white water and black water elsewhere.

Very interesting! Do the monkeys get benefits from feeding the fish or just for fun? Do you have any additional footage from the monkeys' point of view?

@belowwater 6 ай бұрын

No, they are likely just looking for ripe fruit, with not much interest what is below. But if you are feeding over the water, less chance for cats, so maybe it goes both ways.
