    In this video, we'll explore the wonder of the Rio Negro River, one of the largest blackwater rivers in the world. We'll see many familar aquarium fish, including angelfish, south american cichlids, cardinal tetras and rummynose tetras. We also get a few appearances from catfish like plecos, discus fish, and even a freshwater stingray.

    Wild discus look so much more natural and real than all the flashy hybrids derived from them-wish someone would breed more of them.... maybe it’s just me but the colors are much more balanced and complementary. Looking forward to the biotope tank!

    • @notbadsteve
      @notbadsteve 3 года назад +6

      Sort of agree, but I bet, like all of us, that you didn't know that wild discus are completely different from 'shop' discus when you started keeping fish.
      I guess we all look back over our years in the hobby and wish we knew then what we know now.
      But that would be like immediately downloading kung fu to your brain. You'd have the technical knowledge but not the soul.
      I still love the look of brightly coloured discus in a heavily planted tank.👍

      Hi, does Symphysodon aequifasciatus live in the Rio Negro? I don't think so. When I was there we found S. discus only. You may watch my new video being newly out tonight. Thanks, greetings from Germany and take care, Bernd 👋🙂

      It's pretty hard to improve on nature (I like "natural" striped angelfish, too) but I still appreciate the creativity of breeders. Guppies, platys, long finned black tetras and bettas are some of my favorites.

  • @Fire-Fox007
    @Fire-Fox007 2 месяца назад +1

    One thing that stuck out to me is the placement of the Cardinal Tetras in their natural habitat. I knew they and many other tetras came from blackwater systems rather than the crystal clear ones we set up in our homes. But I had never seen them in the wild like this before. I realized how quickly they seem to 'disappear' into their surroundings, as fish with red markings often do in dark water environments. It reminds me of the deep ocean, and how many animals down there are colored red in order to become 'invisible' to their predators. I have to wonder if they are trying to deploy that same tactic here. Even with that bright blue neon streak, it makes it a lot harder to pick out the shape of the fish in such tea-stained water, while perhaps allowing groups to still see each other enough to school.

    I like how you talk about the fry hiding in the leaf litter. This brings up a good point. When you change your water don’t toss the muck bucket right away. Toss a heater in it and let it sit for a day or two. You might be surprised at what you may find. Happy tanking keep up the Vids.
