10 Minutes in an Amazon Stream - Aquarium Fish Habitat

Check out the habitat of a fast-moving stream in the Rio Negro region of Brazil!

[@meaghanb9118]

Seeing all the malm, detritus, and algae makes me feel better about the spotty debris in my tank. Again, as long as parameters remain stable, this is good for my Tetras. This is great to see and get references from. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge!

Seeing all the malm

[@JosephKarthic]

Closed system (tank) is not the same as Open River, The river gets 100% water change every millisecond...😃😀

[@HarshRaj-dz5eo]

Looks like Amazon has set up a new tank and left it for cycling with no fishes 😂

[@jasoncarbonell5582]

How has this channel not come up in my feed much earlier?

[@aquascapingsupply]

the perspective youve provided is perfect.

[@meetunclekopak6460]

in our country Malaysia, we have fast stream tannins river. really black the color of the water and the current is fast streaming. plenty of rare n endangered species there

[@ferociousyeggy]

Dekat mana?

[@nowar4777]

Bu zamana kadar gördüğüm en güzel sualtı çekimi, teşekkürler 👏🏽❤️

[@philliphoffmann4523]

Always appreciate footage from wild biotopes. Thank you.

[@TallmanVictorE]

Having shared this opportunity with Alex the video brings back so many highlights, in particular those small pockets at the side of the stream. I could envision those inspiring a future shallow tank one day. I hope we have the opportunity to share another stream in the future.

[@tanktestedtwo9081]

Me too!!!

[@nampink6262]

My favorite aqua style

[@SGBeardedAquarist]

Came here from your main channel. THANK YOU FOR THIS ALEX!

[@Mikolji]

great footage!!!

[@aquahobby1982]

wowwwww. what a view..... thanks a ton for capturing it and sharing it with us.... i can watch it allday long.

[@cathyb7806]

Beautiful photography! Seeing the biotope really helps to dial in our tank's aquascape. Thank you for sharing.

[@oneinchme3289]

It is so interesting to see the habitat almost the way you did when you recorded this video! Thank you! 😊

[@AndrewKilvington]

This kind of video content is right up my street ....love it 👍

[@edwardcarr2510]

sad indictment of the state of the amazonias wherein after ten minutes of filming only a handful of fish have been observed.

[@COOPERSCICHILDS]

Truly appreciate you taking the time to bring this to us excellent footage awesome narration

[@resipopesi1194]

I Love it! Thanks for the time and effort you put into this Videos! Greetings from Germany

[@corncob2701]

This channel is amazing I can’t believe I just stumbled into your content!

[@australianbiotopes4563]

Nice habitat, Thanks for sharing.

[@stevepotts6113]

I love your tanks, but taking us to the source is pure genius - Thank You. I'm curious - did you have to take any special precautions to avoid piranha, snakes or insects?

[@absandrs237]

Where are the fish? They are already on sale, in the aquariums... 😭😭😭

[@FRD-HDD]

These are barren waters...overfishing and pollution maybe

[@absandrs237]

Just kidding 😜

[@nathanielwise508]

@@FRD-HDD consider that in the wild, the density of wildlife is relatively low compared to what we might expect. as such, large stretches of a particular stream may indeed be entirely devoid of fishes at any given time.

[@UN1VERS3S]

@@absandrs237 fishes on petshops are mostly bred on captivity. Nature alone can't mass produce that quantity, with the presence of predators and scarcity of food.

[@sreeraja1735]

Yeah, same thing with Dennison barb.

[@fishmanc5357]

So cool to see this! Noticeably different from your usual structured videos on your main channel...it pays to take chances 👍🏻✊🏻

[@cwright1971]

Really interesting - thanks Alex

[@animalloverad6125]

খুব ভালো লাগলো। দারুন কন্টেন্ট।। এরকম ভিডিও আরও চাই।।💓

[@izzulismail7681]

Wow thats a lot of hardscape 😍

[@sammyvh11]

This is the way you want you tank to look. Dirted substrate with leaves totally natural

[@joeluisishere]

Where are the fish? Did you scare them away with all that splashing lol

[@tball5677]

Nice video of ............leaf debris........

[@junminivlog8210]

Creepy what if there's a crocodile.but so much materials for aquascaping aquarium

[@ericjbowman1708]

I once had a wild-caught Green Severum, one of the prettiest fishies I've ever kept.

[@vampgaia]

You have a second channel??? How did I miss that. I want somma that wood!

[@philipashley1517]

Fantastic,,👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧😍

[@juliorivera870]

Very sad that all the fish are in aquariums and the river is empty😢

[@sivjos7703]

Who all saw nothing

[@CRUSH911]

Awsomw video

[@Etoile576]

Where are the fish?

[@EliMooner]

Yooo it’s the “Happy Star Wars day everyone today is also my birthday” guy

[@Pafkatax]

4:19 even human can be found living in the river

[@AldoPeruzzi]

No, è semplicemente un corso d'acqua, tra l'altro con molta corrente dove non c'è presenza di pesci, perchè nei tratti stagnanti il pesce c'è eccome, ho visto prendere con i miei occhi i Paracheirodon a centinaia con il retino, bisogna farsi guidare da chi ci vive e conosce le zone, se poi ci immergiamo anche addio! Benissimo per vedere il fondo, ma per i pesci bisogna fare attenzione e andare su zattera

[@andreterrible]

Round 2! Lets go Alex!

[@pkoppart]

Don't know how many $$ worth of driftwood in there. Hope Alex got his hand on a few nice pieces for his next aquascape.

[@smallmonstera4525]

This is so beautiful

[@ndbyers23]

Nice video! It would be great to have a follow up video where you circle the fish and identify each one so that viewers learn how to look for the fish, where they are in the habitat, and how they act. This would be better than guessing and hoping you are doing it right. Thanks. 😊

[@celticlady4821]

You saw fish?!? 🎉

[@Raffioc]

Stranger things : you seem to be in the wrong side !

[@nilaywaghmare]

Imagine you are filming and a 15-foot anaconda swims by you damn that's scary.

[@pablomartinez3380]

More videos like this please!!!!

[@manalili7310]

I’m too paranoid of crocs to do this lol.

[@NoName-rl5xn]

i am ... watching this so i know what to put in my tank for my amazon catfish and gar-

[@sanjayclassesengsst7925]

Superb

[@Lestarialamku2004]

Inspirasi biotope

[@dD-iv9tz]

Are there crocs there

[@drchangtorres]

Be careful not to bump into an electric eel!

[@wizofwestwood2275]

All I’m thinking about is the caimans😭😭

[@equiman85]

Awesome video, but sad to see there's hardly any fish there.

[@aigarslindentals8315]

The fish got scared of Alex...))

[@monitorcrazy9410]

Can this go for caiman? I'm trying to make my caiman enclosure as realistic as possible, like paleosuchus palpebrosus/ Cuviers caiman

[@sparkles1032]

Yes

[@jdalexi590]

Glitch in the Amazon.

[@TableTennis-Man]

really amazing..no fish

[@royom8950]

MD aquatic is mimicking one

[@rara5212]

Not afraid of bigger reptiles along the river??

[@weihuang7671]

How about you meet crocodile ?

[@aquaphile5400]

Cool

[@gravygoose]

Cam anyone ID all the plants around the 2:50 mark?

[@keepmoving.3043]

You must take underwater filming lessons some.

[@amazon4716]

I see some nice bog wood

[@aigarslindentals8315]

No plants, no oxygen? Strange...

[@Constantine_Cvl8]

No plants doesn't mean no oxygen. If I remeber correctly, oxygen and carbon dioxide come and go from the water through gaseous exchange, even still waters can have a decent amount of oxygen if it's cold enough, and for streams especially, there's a lot more activity going on with the movement of the water. More water movement+lower temps+oxygen-releasing organisms=lots of oxygen, hence the highly oxygenated environment of hillstreams, which typically lack macroscopic plant life. One must also not forget about the algae and microorganisms that can release oxygen into the water, they also contribute to the oxygen in a body of water.

[@andressanchezfernandez8865]

No fish

[@twasbrillig33]

fish are fare and few between. that is worrisome
