Legendary river explorer Ivan Mikolji takes you on interesting freshwater journeys to secret locations in tropical jungles recreating the habitats of your tropical fish in an aquarium, using only natural elements found in their habitat. Follow the author and discover the unknown secrets of the world's natural aquariums... the rivers.
Ivan Mikolji has created an extensive number of serial shows and documentaries that have become instant classics in the aquarium hobby. Starting with his majestic Freshwater Aquarium Documentary , Wild Piranha 1, and Morichal Largo River documentaries, followed a behind the scenes look at his expeditions in The Fish Guys Series and then his wildly successful Wild Aquarium series.
Wild Aquarium is a movement within the fish-keeping hobby which involves visiting an aquatic habitat such as a lake, river or stream and setting up a temporal aquarium in situ with the aim of mimicking the habitats seen on the spot. For the creation of a Wild Aquarium, only materials and animals collected from the specific habitat are used and are usually returned to their original setting once complete.
Ivan's Wild Aquarium video series started the Wild Aquarium movement. Ivan’s ingenious idea of creating an ephemeral aquarium using only the materials found around a body of water has been applauded and emulated throughout the world. Once completed, all materials are promptly returned to nature. This has encouraged people around the world to take their hobby from inside their homes to the outside world, further encouraging ecological interaction.
