  • Exploring a forest stream in the north of Mato Grosso do Sul state, Brazil, searching for the popular aquarium fish, the Black Neon tetra (Hyphessobrycon herbertaxelrodi). We examine the habitat and conspecifics of this beautiful little fish.
    Fish species observed in this habitat:
    Apistogramma trifasciata
    Brycon hilarii
    Characidium laterale
    Characidium aff. zebra
    Cichla sp.
    Corydoras areio
    Hemigrammus ulreyi
    Hyphessobrycon herbertaxelrodi
    Hypostomus boulengeri
    Jupiaba acanthogaster
    Moenkhausia dichroura
    Moenkhausia forestii
    Moenkhausia oligolepis
    Myloplus levis
    Steindachnerina brevipinnis
    Platydoras armatulus
    Poptella paraguayensis
    Pyrrhulina australis
    Salminus brasiliensis
    Satanoperca pappaterra
    Trachelyopterus galeatus
    Plant species observed in this habitat:
    Cyperus sp.
    Eleocharis minima
    Ludwigia inclinata
    Images recorded in north east of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul (within municipality of Coxim) on 15th December 2020, during the wet season for this region.
    Visibility and light was vastly reduced due to the rainclouds above and sediment and debris entering the water after each storm.
    Images recorded using an Olympus TG5 Tough camera (good in high light, terrible in any form of shade), using a Backscatter PT058 housing and Backscatter M52 Wide-angle wet lens. I also used a simple LED lamp mounted onto the housing to illuminate subjects in the murky/dark water.

    I've found it surprisingly hard to find footage of aquarium fish in their natural habitats, and stumbling over your channel was a stroke of luck. Thank you for sharing these lovely videos and including so much information! :) One thing in this particular video gives me pause, however - near the end you describe how you and your friends force fish out of hiding by probing with sticks. This seems a little at odds with your code, being "Give the creature space; never harry, never chase"..?

      @biotopia5319  3 года назад

      Hey, thank you! We didn't have kit to take measurements I'm afraid but given the amount of organic material in there I think it was pretty acidic, temperate would have been around 28C as outside temp was closer to 34C. Sometimes it's much hotter but due to the rainstorms those days were cooler :)
