Snorkeling with Tetras Fincasters Episode 157

[@scott-ish404]

As a Brazilian (from the southern state of Paraná), I must say I'd never imagined that the sources of tropical aquarium fish were so much alike the aquarium the supply themselves - proportions kept aside, of course.

[@DaveAMcLean]

I so want to do that. this is brilliant. more video of fish in the wild please. I'm a great believer in establishing honest biotopes and this sort of video is really inspiring. thanks so much I really enjoyed that!

[@mariodanielmonterrubiomonc7206]

my god this is pure gold, amazing how the actual tetras we get in a store actually live, now I do realize why the hide throughout of the day, the water they live in tends to be a little dark with lots of organic material, but in the end is cristaline water, great video, congratulations.

[@fincasters]

Cool, isn't it?

[@12andrewrules]

Very good video !just got all of my aquarium set up live planted and everything ! Thinking about getting another aquarium because I'm just hooked on it !

[@pacificnorthwestacct8791]

The snorkeling video is great. I love snorkeling my local river with trout and salmon.

[@SusanforSLCAquatics]

I really enjoyed this video. I have a 25 gallon natural tank set up to mimic the freshwater stream by my yard where I live in Alabama. I would love more info about natural biotopes

[@davidclayton69]

Amazing. Nice to see, basing my stocking on this video!!

[@brannonevans3685]

So cool.

[@chrisgill9546]

thank u so much for sharing..this would totally be a dream trip!!!👍👍

[@LonghornInOmaha]

Great video! Thanks for sharing. Love seeing actual footage from where these fishes come from.

[@fincasters]

Thanks Cole. It's really interesting Isn't it? We see coral reefs all the time ... but it's rare to see fresh water fish in the wild.

[@NeonTetraAquarist]

This was Great! Just like Mikolji!

[@KapitaenAdde]

hello, great video. I live in Germany and work in a pet shop. Our imports often include a few bycatches. also the one shown in minute 5:31. does anyone know what the species is called?

[@cichlidexchange4635]

Great Video!

[@numbernineinc]

What's the name of the tetra you're talking about at around 4:57?

[@fincasters]

www.seriouslyfish.com/species/hemigrammus-ulreyi/ Mike talks bout it being snow locally as the Brichan. I believe the link I shared will tell you more about the "Broken Line Tetra."

[@kdr1048]

Wow this is incredible!

[@fincasters]

Right!?

[@henrykater9728]

Its the same with plants. In the wild you will see several species growing together, mixed, grasses mixed with taller stem plants. Just like the fish do. Great video - reminds me of Theodore Roosevelt's Amazon travels diary.

[@henrykater9728]

The other thing is fresh water is not like seawater - you get temperature swings. Wild fish are used to it.

[@headon6139]

the ones with the red eyes looked like diamond tetras

[@xisotopex]

what fish is that at 11:51? upper part of the frame, in the center, looks be a checkerboard pattern or salt and pepper pattern...

[@fincasters]

www.tfhmagazine.com/details/articles/the-checkerboard-dwarf-cichlid-dicrossus-filamentosus.htm Really Cool fish. Checkerboard cichlid. I have kept them. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnqah6FjhNaHm9E

[@dwsdarius]

Very cool!

[@mcstabba]

I wonder what sort of plant were shooting through the leaf litter in many places on the bottom of the stream. Are there any Corydoras there? Plecos?

[@renegadetherapper]

Tetras in their natural environment - ahhh, nothing like some nice, murky, dirty water filled with tannins Tetras inside of a fish tank - THE WATER HASN'T BEEN CHANGED IN 2 WEEKS. THE LIGHT, SLOWLY FADING.... GOODBYE CRUEL WORLD. ☠️

[@rakshitapadmajitweerakkody8350]

@ Renegade the Rapper. 👍🌹

[@davidsfishtanks9347]

Very cool Thanks Sir !

[@MrFoai]

What's the "thing" at the background which has 2-3 guppy in it?

[@fincasters]

It’s actually a jellyfish aquarium!

[@MrFoai]

@@fincasters It's more like a speaker or some kind of box not a proper fish tank.

[@CypressPhotoStudio]

Totally awesome 🦄

[@MrColanzar2007]

Can the researchers do some freshwater fish research in the Philippines? There's been no study about that despite it having different bodies of water.

[@LOL59hahaha]

Yes please. I also thought of that when i visited Allen, Samar for a commercial shoot before. We went to a small creek with a fall and i saw tons of shrimps! I dont know what kind of shrimps tho. Thats when i dreamt of surveying all freshwater areas in the country

[@remadepukka]

Is that a small black aquarium behind you ? I see guppies in there...

[@Orophile_303]

I have embers and neon tetras and they all stick together.

[@steffanjansenvanvuuren5061]

Thank you for your videos, awesome stuff... But there is just no video where I can see a Neon Tetra in the wild, the videos show everything but Neon's Why? What happened to all the Neon's? Paracheirodon innesi Just cardinals, cardinals, but I want see Neon's in the Wild

[@jakeisham4721]

Steffan Jansen van Vuuren neons aren’t from hot water areas and are most likely tank bred if that helps

[@xisotopex]

@@jakeisham4721 there are neons in Mikolji videos

[@fincasters]

I'll keep working on that!

[@troyclench3738]

What are the water temperatures there

[@fincasters]

I believe 70-80

[@mattadrev471]

WOW.....aweosme!

[@fincasters]

Planning a follow up on how to make aquariums more like the river

[@mattadrev471]

I got JUST the thing for you! Check out these guys, been buying their stuff for months and truely amazing how amazon fish will react plus makes a tank look REAL! (aka like nature ;) tanninaquatics.com/ Email the guy..i am sure he would love to work with you. More people need to know about these amazing products.

[@fincasters]

I'll do that. I believe Mike knows them as well -- or at least their products. Looks like I'll need to set up another aquarium. Damn. :)

[@piotrfigura9483]

Marzenie zobaczyć na żywo jak żyją :-)

[@goldenmodzftw4593]

you should go snorkeling with ciclids

[@gregmarrero3400]

He reminds me of when Matthew Broderick played in glory

[@taramansion]

It's sad to think they're leaving this beautiful place to travel for days in a plastic bag, then end up in a, probably too small, aquarium in someone's living room.

[@kye88]

Its great to see the Natural Habitat and the look of their environment. However I am against taking fish from the wild for many, many reasons. Ideally there is no need to take fish from the wild as nowadays we should have the Equipment and resources to breed in captivity.. In my country it is illegal to take from the wild, I just hope that there are limits on the Quantity that can be taken as this is now animals become extinct.

[@rakshitapadmajitweerakkody8350]

More visuals and less lecturing would have been nice.

[@akinkucingakin671]

Toooo many talk..

[@fincasters]

Sorry.

[@MitchParker2012]

Don't be sorry, the video was good.
