@@belowwater there's a beef going on right now between fish that are democrat and fish from the south. Like I have a male 3spot blue gourami 🔵 and Female opaline gourami🔵. Where someone else has a pair of festivum cichlids🚩 which are from the south
All pet stores and fish shops should have a return policy to aid in the reduction of non endemic species being released as well as people need to be responsible.
These are gorgeous! I've seen this in the Frio river but have never had luck catching them. I don't care to collect any for keeping but simply to admire them. They've always caught my eye when camping, I remember first noticing them around 15 years ago but actually up until a year or two ago I only knew they were a species of cichlid but never knew what they were called.
hermosos peces, aun se pueden ver en arroyos, lagunas y nacimientos acá donde vivo (Rioverde S.L.P. Mex.) y me parece de vital importancia publicar mas y más info de estos ejemplares ya que como comentas, están en peligro de extinción, acá tenemos al "labridens" y al "bartoni" ambos en peligro y casi en su totalidad desconocidos para la comunidad de la región... saludos!!!
I guess *technically* the canals of and around New Orleans could be wild Herichthys cyanoguttatus habitat! They are pretty impressive to spot in our bayous when breeding; it is a testament to their hardiness how well they do in such hot, stagnant, silted water.
@@belowwater Yes, they’ve been invasive here for at least the last 15-20 years. In breeding dress they are quite spectacular to see, even if they ought not be here.
@@rooseveltrandall4365 I used to catch them in the canals off Ames & Lapalco in Marrero; horrible water conditions but you can find them breeding like crazy in any of the bigger canals/ditches.
@@andregurov sadly I must agree…..I earlier I went to the canal 5 minutes across my house on lapalco looking to see if I could capture a Texas cichlid for a tank fish
Beautiful fish! Coahuila has also wide variety of cachorritos del desierto, I used to collect them every family trip i went to rivers and lagoons, but nowadays with the scarcity of water in northern mexican cities, the water deposits are being used for urban water supply.
@@belowwater this is serious Im a Kamala Harris voter🟦 I have Democratfish🔵 a male 3spot blue gourami and Female opaline gourami. Cichlasoma boliviense cichlids , festivum cichlids are on the right and republican🚩.
I always enjoy all your amazing videos and your great passion for capturing fish live in their habitat. Just curious how you are funded to be able to take these trips all over the world. Is this your full time job?
Yes, it is. The fish are, but sometimes there are chances to film stuff - this video was shot when the amazing people at the Monterey Aquarium Club took me out to see the sights after i gave a presentation there. I have been sitting on 20 years worth of videos, ... and the pandemic was a good time to start doing something with them.
@@belowwater Fantastic, please keep the videos coming!. By the way, before being an engineer, my first passion was to become an ichthyologist, but that never panned out. I grew up in Belleville Illinois and there was an ichthyologist named Dr. Don Taphorn, just wondered if you ever crossed his path in South America (he worked in Venezuela). I know you are also an aquarist at heart. I am currently working in Bangladesh and have built a pond raising large goldfish and African Cichlids together as an experiment. The results are outstanding, a rainbow of colors, and the fish actually get along quite well with each other. One story I would like to share with you. While working on my graduate degree in Missouri, I came across a nest of Longear Sunfish (Lepomis Megalotis) one day while smallmouth bass fishing in a clear running Ozark creek no wider than about 5 meters. These sunfish were absolutley stunning, rivaling any of the most beautiful tropical fish or saltwater fish I have kept over the years. I am pretty sure the particular wild strain I was catching that day (and releasing back) was limited to that particular Ozark creek. The creek was on private land and was never fished. I have done some research and it seems the variety of colors found with these fish varies along a wide distribution across the country. The fish I was lucky enough to see that day were composed of the most spectacular turquoise, red, and yellow markings I have ever seen on any fish. I may have caught them in their spawning colors. Unfortunately, it was the one time in my life I did not have aquariums set up or I would have tried to breed them. They made such an impression on me that I still remember to this day and that was 23 years ago! I just wonder why these fish never made it into the hobby...? Thanks for listening Oliver
@@robdavinroy1761 Yes, I know Don Taphorn, although we have not met. I am not sure why the sunfish and American darters etc are not popular in the hobby. A lot of those fish are restricted, and some endangered. You would also find that these fish don't quite get the same colours if they don't have a cold winter i think. I agree that those sunfish are amazing.
Which are the some common varieties of cichlids found in India. Because I hadn't seen much varieties of cichlids here. Most common cichlid found here resembles to Severum cichlids. And now there number to is reduced to a large extend.
in breeding colour all _Herichthys_ species become contrasty black and white - you won't find them like that unless they have eggs or fry. Any "Texas" cichlid relative will get that colour during breeding.
Amazing shots will make people love nature and fish
Excellent recordings, I love cichlids, beautiful, large fish, best regards
Thank you very much!

Epic Ripping Footage Mate!
thank you!
Brilliant video
Thank you!
Such an awesome video
Great Times!!!
I used to find little springs and streams full of these guys, never took anything either when I was fishing 😂
Brilliant video
Thank you!

in Mexico Tilapia are being released in habitats by the government as a new "protein source" the same is happening in other countries.
@@belowwater And being as prolific as they are, those Tilapia will soon disrupt or destroy those habitats
@@belowwater Unfortunately yes..."best" example (in Africa)...Lake Victoria!
Nice!!
Best video I've watched all day
thank you!
A cool micro acestrorhynchus you could keep would be acestrorhynchus minimus.
yes, smaller than the others.... Texas cichlids would eat it though
Very interesting
Thank you!😍

Cool

Beautiful & really Wonderful species, kept/reared them myself until a few Years ago.
Thank you, i have not kept the fish since i was 12... but seeing it in nature is amazing.

They would be introduced there also, but i can see that they would thrive!

Amazing video as always. But i have a question. Do you film all this footage yourself? Because thats amazing
yes, i do, every second of it!

there are only 3, _Etroplus canarensis, E.suratensis, Pseudetroplus maculatus_
@@belowwater thank you for the information
I'd like to see footage of the carpintis cichlid, the colour of this species is like the texas only better imo!
I have not seen them in nature, but _H.minckleyi_ will be an upcoming video!
Hallo, kommt eigentlich noch Piranha Guide Teil 2?
leider ist da sehr wenig Interesse, das Video ist ansonsten eigentlich fertig - da brauchen wir noch einige mehr Abonnenten...
Do you know Chris Biggs?
It's a requirement when you immigrate to Canada, I think even a question on the citizenship exam.
@@belowwater nice! I learn lots from you guys.
Why these Texas black and white ? I’ve been trying to find the ones like this
