  • Exploring a shallow stream running through dunes between two slums in the city of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. This habitat is home to two popular aquarium fishes, Hemigrammus rodwayi and Hasemania nana, as well as a number of beautiful aquatic plants.

    This is wonderful! As a naturalist that used to live in Natal, it is very pleasant to watch this video. Now I live in Rio de Janeiro, and we have a lot of interesting stream habitats around here. I always focus on birds when I'm in the bush, but my brother demonstrates a very high interest on fish. By the way, is there any database that can help on the ID of the species? We've just identified one, Mimagoniates microlepis, however, there's a Characidium species that we don't know exactly the species. Thanks in advance, amazing video! :)

    • @biotopia5319
      @biotopia5319  9 месяцев назад +3

      Hi! Thanks for your message! Regarding Characidium, you should reach out to Dr. Paulo Buckups at PUC, based in the Museo Nacional RJ, he should be able to help! With database it's hard...maybe Inaturalist, or the Checklist of the Freshwater Fishes of South and Central America. If you need a PDF let me know :)

    Lagao Azul? great video, pristine water in an urban environment. I would hardly say the people were "that" poor. I live in one of the richest countries in the world and the government can't even find the money to clean our main waterway.Before white trash arrived (me) here, the Indigenous Yarra Yarra tribe said the yarra river water was clean and clear, now it's just a muddy brown due to carp and suburban run off and development. Further up stream as suburbia falls back from the river side the water becomes clear and clean AND drinkable (though you should always boil it) and you can see fish and platypus in the river. Some of our creeks due to rock and massive reed beds have created clear water channels and again you can see fish and platypus if you are lucky.
    Also are there no crocodiles in the water?

    • @chongli297
      @chongli297 9 месяцев назад

      @@biotopia5319 You may have to experiment with different compression settings on the camera. All of the different GoPro models support different formats and they may even be configured differently. Generally you want to use the highest-quality, least-compressed format that you can get out of the camera (which means really big files, unfortunately). And then after editing, when you upload to RUclips, you'll want to match the highest quality setting so that RUclips servers don't need to re-compress the video. This will probably take a lot of experimentation since there are so many variables. A home aquarium set up with a fast-moving river biotope would be a good way to test. You definitely don't want to worry about camera settings when you're on a trip!

    • @biotopia5319
      @biotopia5319  9 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you for that detailed info! I thought I had put the video on 4K at 60fps and that I rendered it in the same compression format, and when I upload them RUclips seems to recognise that...but perhaps I need to review it to double check. I'm not very tech-minded unfortunately but I will try to improve it! I really want to get a housing and dome for my DSLR but they are crazy expensive...the GoPro was a compromise. I also have a little Olympus TG5 which I used, but it refuses to shoot in 4K for some reason and the moment there's a tiny bit of shadow, the video quality plummets. I really appreciate you taking the time to advise me, thank you!
