NEW Species - The secret WILD GUPPY CREEK | Planted Tank

I was back at the secret wild guppy creek after almost 1.5 years. One thing in advance - many things have changed at the secret wild guppy creek since I`ve been there. Some animals disappeared while some incredible new species came up. The secret wild guppy creek with over 100.000 aquarium fish. Many people collect here wild guppies for their fish tank or Aquarium. These local wild and native guppy fish lived once in a aquarium and have been released by aquarists and aquascaper a long time ago. I mean we are talking about 100K fish. You can find here wild guppies, endler guppies, mollies, lake malawi cichlids and many other cichlids!

This is the coolest little secret creek ever. It’s so interesting to see how the fish are slowly evolving back to their natural form.

[@PlantedTank]

Thank you Chad 👋🏼

We have the same thing here in Canada in Banff National Park where there are hotsprings. This is close to the Bank Springs Hotel. Runoff from a hotspring joins a river. Where they meet the water is just the right temperature for these tropical fish to survive year-round. There are also tropical orchids that survive along the hot spring .

[@PlantedTank]

Wow. Amazing. Thank's für sharing this with us! Greetings Ben

[@beckyboo5097]

I'd love to come here and catch a few for a home aquarium especially the mollies ❤

[@rambo410]

Wild guppies are native to Trinidad and Antigua. I just went to Trinidad and ask the locals about the wild guppies the said they were extinct. I didn't believe them so I went down the river which was low because of the try season and found them and also saw the bronze cory catfish i was in about a foot of water. I also saw cichlids but coudnlt catch them

[@marymendez4178]

Hello Ben, is been a while and so nice to see a new guppy video. The convict fish coloring are awesome and so rich. what I love about your video is that you name the fish and also you put a picture to explain in details all information. A Huge thumbs-up to you my friend.

[@MareShoop]

I love this, I feel like I’m watching someone’s giant aquarium ❤

[@tomepic]

where I stay in South Africa there use to be a power station using sea water for cooling and the channel leading to the river was full of tropical marine fish then one day the power station came to the end of its life the fish life returned to all cold water species

[@mamawxhunter0402]

Hey ben,thank you for this wonderful video😍❤️

[@Kulfishadventure]

Wow Im originally from canada, i loved aquariums, we now live in nicauragua , lots of tropical fish, they nip youre feet when you dip them in the rivers, I plan to get a tank and catch my own fish soon, Im amazed by this creek in Germany, never imagined such a place, great video.

[@PlantedTank]

Hey @Kulfishadventure someone told me that in your home country, would exist a river in the Banff National Park, near hot springs with tropical fish. Greetings Ben

[@Kulfishadventure]

Yes I read that one Ben, makes sense with thermal springs, where I am now have cool fish everywhere, cant wait to set up an aquarium or outdoor pond soon.Cheers from Nicauragua.@@PlantedTank

The guppies are so cute ❤

[@budu888]

thank you for having pictures and names of the fishes

[@PlantedTank]

You are welcome

[@BadlydrawnBen]

What an amazing discovery shame about the shrimp vanishing. Do you know the heat source for this stream ?

[@PlantedTank]

You find often those stream in the near of power plant stations or industrial areas, where they fed the creek with cooling water.

[@BadlydrawnBen]

@@PlantedTank thank you. I'm in the UK and there is a stunning small cooling lake for a power plant near me it's full of fish but has a massive security fence around it

[@beckyboo5097]

​@Ben bear sounds amazing I'd love to go discover the fish there 😄

[@Necrosias]

Schönes Update, Ben 👍

[@PlantedTank]

Danke dir 👍

[@luckyhaze9692]

Really beautiful video! Beautiful fishes. Do you know if the area have a large range of snails aquatic species? I’m always curious about how they can live in the wild. I’m from canada and i would love to take my endlers and guppies in the wild but because of winter they probably die… thank you for your nice work 👋🏼✌️

[@aakash9333]

Amazing 🤩👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@acuaristayuca]

Wow amazing. In future years cichlids could be the dominant species

[@roten2902]

ich kenne den guppybach, ist schon interessant wie und was sich dort so entwickelt... 🤩👍👍👍

[@alphacentauri1979]

Nice🎉

[@Topeng14]

Amazing 🎉❤🇵🇭

[@dirkschaufert]

The plants die every winter and come back when the days get longer again. Since the water temperature is the same all year round it's probably the lack of light during winter that kills them.

[@GLXY_1000]

Or the Cichlids ate it all

[@Hammoons10]

I love your video plz keep going.

[@PlantedTank]

I try :-D

[@vladelets_vag]

[@weezy5441]

How is it that the stays warm all year round?

[@rnldmanuel88]

Cichlids and livebearers are very curious animals they love to get close to humans.

[@istoppedlaughing5225]

Should make a small natural dam for more water depth

[@user-qg5vv4ci3r]

seeing how it changed so much makes me feel so sad

[@PlantedTank]

me too

[@pRiMeAndRhyme]

How do Molly's get along with Convicts? In aquariums people live feed Convicts with Mollys...

[@saqohakob1107]

how do you keep the temperature under control? I mean how do you keep the temperature above 20 degrees in winter

[@PlantedTank]

The creek is fed by cooling water. You find those creeks in the near of a power plant station or industrial areas.

[@lukemckee1242]

Where is this located

[@RandomFandom1]

The eb and flow of nature

[@Wupper_Ryder]

👍

[@StanTheObserver-lo8rx]

Other plants also seem to be gone. Crypts like C.balansae and another I couldn't identify were in thick stands. Now gone. The water seems to have gotten whiter..ash? Obvious that larger colorful fish are easily caught by predators. The creek is pretty shallow.

[@chip877]

Hobbyists dream find !!!

[@roopeshthopate6219]

Hey Ben.. I have not seen any shrimps..why they disappeared?

[@PlantedTank]

Maybe because of the winter 😑. Many hiding spots between the plants are not available.

[@user-xb9gk7iv3w]

Is that an Australoherus Facetus 4:35 into the movie?

[@PlantedTank]

A kind of i think so... but this one is really dark

[@andersnrregren9087]

Lol looks like fall 2021 and spring 2023, maybe compair fall and fall next time

[@metallixro]

I'll be honest I'm thinking about dumping all my rice fish in a small lake near me :))) unless heavily predated upon they could establish.

Hey Ben…

[@fajrdn]

Where's the native fish?

[@PlantedTank]

There are no native fishes

[@Tugela60]

The invasive species wiped them out.

[@NoTape4PM]

Eher schade, dass dort neue Arten auftauchen...

[@abangfarhanronmzih1277]

where a plant?

[@apanhaesta]

So many invasive species, do not release your aquarium fish, never!!!

[@hanspetterroverud1028]

I'd generally agree, but these ones aren't going anywhere. They're stuck in this artificially heated environment. If the power plant stops flushing temperate water into this creek they won't survive. Tropical and sub-tropical areas are different--south American aquarium fish are invasive in Asia, Australia, Hawaii and the southern US to name a few. When fish are being dumped in a climate zone that corresponds to their region of origin they may spread uncontrollably and displace the native fauna.

[@nope7716]

@@hanspetterroverud1028 i wonder if over time they will breed towards cold resistance?
