New Tetra Guide : 30 New Tetras ! Hyphessobrycon and Moenkhausia from Brazil ! Part 1 of 4

[@cathytaibbi9902]

Thank you for being more than just an aquarium fish channel, but an advocate for protecting these marvelous species from over-collecting . Also really love the in situ and habitat shots. Really hoping many more advanced aquarists watch you and make establishing these species in the hobby a goal before habitat destruction and other human activities drive even more biodiversity to extinction.

Thank you!

[@MrThundercat1989]

Yes, that’s exactly what I wanted to add as well ! It’s still just a hobby, we should avoid by all means to threaten any species 👍☝🏻

[@johnnygalaxy9022]

Goes to show you just how important the Aquarium hobby is for the preservation of all these rare fish. As their habitats get destroyed they will survive in the thousands due to breeding.

[@yashtapase3821]

2:34 the statement is very saddening 😢 Is there no communities out there who are trying to save the habitat of rivers and forest where these fishes belong to ? I see a guy name paul Rosalie who are trying to save a area of amazon and expanding to save another areas . Please let us know whats going on in amazon brazil etc in specific video it will be very helpful for us

[@belowwater]

yes, there are lots of grass roots small initiatives, and some big NGOs like Conservation International etc. - but they are up against industrial agriculture, illegal mining, people setting fires etc.

[@paulstingray]

I’m super excited that a few of those are actually available over here now! Just gotta research more about them before I get them!

[@sanzcalibre5486]

Very nice research and analysis 👍

[@belowwater]

Thank you!

Великолепный монтаж. Интересные рыбы. Не плохая съёмка. А, вот большинство рыбок имеют очень схожий окрас - тёмная полоса на светлом фоне. Очевидно это лучший камуфляж для этого биотопа. Видов много, вот только красивых тетр всего пара штук.

[@sebastianjaworski8981]

Nice job

[@alaskajdw]

I love them all. Especially the negodogua ❤️

[@SkipperBlue]

Thanks for describing the new tetras. Makes me angry, that they are in danger, because the rainforest is being destroyed. I have Hyphessobrycon cf. pulchripinnis "bolivia orange", very happy, because i breed them. I want to support every aquarist in the world! Habv a nice day - greetings from germany.

Great video once again 👍

Very nice

Thanks

[@evanchong2247]

Thank you for the great video. I have a small group of Hyphessobrycon Red Cherry. I would love to create a biotope for them. Would their habitat be similar to the one shown here at 0:50? Clear water, leaves, tall grass plants? Any advice you can give on their origin and environment would be appreciated!

[@belowwater]

i have not been to the habitat, but if you watch through the videos you will see some typical Hyphessobrycon habitats that should all be similar.

[@bullyarena3923]

What fish is that in the background @ 3:39? Please do a video on it, it looks amazing!

[@belowwater]

Leporinus sp. Strawberry, we already have a video on the different Anostomidae kzbin.info/www/bejne/moqlaZ-ggb2oabc

[@corydoraszoneaquatics]

So many species I want!

[@DW7887]

3:10 Which species of Aspidoras as a cameo here?

[@dudley0826]

My local fish store just brought in H. eilyos. The FR manager said they would have to retail for 60 cad each to make margin..... I watched them over the course of a few days. They are extremely territorial. The males are killing each other in the 25 gallon tank. Maybe not a great aquarium fish, and best left in the wild.

[@andrewsager7928]

Great Video. I Love Tetras so these are of special interest for me. I can't wait to see them available in the States on a more frequent level.

[@YannHoiret.Fanatik-discus]

Oliver, what kind of aquatic plants you were able to find in those biotopes?

[@belowwater]

there is quite a lot, but hard to tell what species they are, a lot of riparian plants as well as Eriocaulon and Isoetes etc in those habitats, you can not always ID them.

[@MattyP650]

Sorry, I’m confused. You mentioned this was a list of new fish, and it starts with the wadai tetra which you acknowledge has been in the hobby for years. So it’s not a list of new fish?

[@paschoalgrossi5026]

Hello Below Water, I would like tô know what kind of tetra we could expect here in Pernambuco state, along Atlantic Forest biome? Thanks.

[@belowwater]

you can download this paper, it shows many species for your region: doi.org/10.1590/1982-0224-20130228

[@andressaakie4031]

Can you please give me some names of companies from Mato Grosso which sell those fish? I am Brazilian and will open a fish store with an exclusive area for native fish.

[@Laurentlambertnyc]

Very informative video. What is the water temperature range for Hyphessobrycon eilyos? You mention "cooler" water, I imagine due to high altitude, very little info available. Thank you.

[@belowwater]

I try to keep them under 25C, but in Canada that is near impossible now in the summer month they have (daytime) temperatures of closer to 30C at times. For most of the year they are at 22-24C (room temperature in my fish house).

[@vire559]

Things shapes like Piranha or they're in the same family tree?

[@mmirko11111]

Hyphessobrycon red cherry . let's talk about: Exactly which river in Brazil does it come from? Because there are various theories

[@belowwater]

not sure, the fish in the hobby all come from Brazilian breeders - many of the new tetras come from the Rio Rio Tapajos basin, in the upper tributaries of the Juruena, Tapajos and Teles Pires.

[@HeikoBleher]

Very nice video although I would not say "New" as all ate known, some for decades, more correct I suggest to titles it "Interesting Tetra" from Mato Grosso and other parts of Brazil. And the still un-named species have been bred for many years and almost all are being exported fro over one decade.

[@paul.b1730]

Could you please lead with the generic name before the scientific (if possible.) It is more common to talk with LFS and online stores using the generic common names. Great video though, many thanks.

[@belowwater]

Sorry that is not possible, fish "new" in the hobby don't have generic names. If your LFS does not know the scientific names of the fish it is a bad sign. The only fish here that have a generic name are the blueberry tetra (H.wadai) and the lapis tetra (H.cyanotaenia) besides the ones that don't have scientific names yet (blue devil and red cherry).

[@harveymogarawanderingfilip5318]

Hyphessobrycon weitzmannorum and Eliyos Tetra should have a massive breeding project so we can save the species in the future

[@belowwater]

yes, for sure, but they prefer cooler water, not ideal for most community aquariums

[@rarebreed1984]

Great video. The only one I don't like is H. peugeoti. Too normal looking.

[@belowwater]

part2 may change your mind kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnatnHZnnLCEaa8

[@rarebreed1984]

@@belowwater Oh yes, very nice actually. I like Moenkhausia Plumbea most from your videos. I can't believe what an amazing collection you have.
