Habitat of Hyphessobrycon herbertaxelrodi and Apistogramma trifasciata, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil.

[@cjhamilton_art]

Currently researching these habitats before I set up an Apistogramma tank. Thank you for sharing your adventure. This has given me many ideas for how to replicate the environment as best as possible.

Rivals anything I've seen on Television! Thank you for such a classy, interesting and fun video.

[@DP-ym8zf]

The filmography is amazing, and your narration is fit to be a standalone prose

Hi, thank you for your very generous message! I'm not 'David Attenborough' yet, but who knows, one day! :p

Beautiful video ,thank you ,from Rhineland Germany .

As wonderful as the video is, the voice over is poetic and soothing. Well Done!

[@GlassSurfing]

Thank you, absolutely beautiful. Nice to see my favorite tetra (too!) in their natural habitat

Stunning thank you

[@australianbiotopes4563]

Cool video! Thanks for sharing.

[@diegomoralestattoo]

Súper!!!💫👉

[@Paul-li9hq]

Incredible presentation 👍 It makes me realise that the aquarium hobby only touches a fraction of the available fish out there... some of those pictured could be stunning additions to the hobby.

[@SanelSamuel]

These videos are amazing. And the commentary just adds to the awesomeness. Detailed and almost poetic.

[@alexf.gilljam3002]

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"..?

[@steffanjansenvanvuuren3257]

I really also would love to see Paracheirodon innesi in the wild...

[@davidfieldman8723]

Great video I do blackwater scapes love videos like this one thanks

[@biotopia5319]

Thank you David!

[@fload46d]

Even though the waters aren't perfect, to me the South American fish are the most interesting.

Hope some day you could go to minas gerais, and make a video about high são francisco biotipe. Good video.

Amazing video! loved it. Wonder what was pH and temperature of that stream?

[@biotopia5319]

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 :)

[@tropicalfishhub]

@@biotopia5319 Thanks! It means H.herbertaxelrodi can live in very warm temperatures in the wild. Very useful info
