Rio Sucuri - karst river system

[@thunderfalkfalk5590]

Beautiful Video thank you .from Colgne Germany

[@Fatjohny100]

I've started to use your videos for relaxation therapy...Thanks for another great trip...

[@rickfromthecape3135]

Fantastic but you have to stop and smell the roses! You flew by so many fascinating scenes!

[@ArneKolman]

By the look of all the plants I'd say there is a lot of current. He's just floating and it would be very hard to stop.

[@biotopia5319]

as Arne said, the flow was very strong and in this place you are not allowed to place your feet on the substrate (so as to leave habitat undisturbed) so in this case I had to go with the current.

[@biotopia5319]

@@ArneKolman exactly!

[@rickfromthecape3135]

Good point. I stand corrected (not on the substrate though) ;-)

@@biotopia5319 Just a crazy sugestion, but maybe you can carry something weightier with you to act as an anchor and therefore slow you down in the future?

[@СветочДхармы]

Thank you for the video! There is a name for the river and the state it flows through... there are names of aquatic plants... missing the names of fish species in the description below the video!

[@biotopia5319]

I have put a list of species in the latest video :)

[@СветочДхармы]

@@biotopia5319 OK. you Should always include General information about the biotope (country, state, name of the reservoir), as well as a list of fish and plants under the video.

[@biotopia5319]

@@СветочДхармы I just do not have time at the moment, I am so busy and it takes a while to compile information, although the river, state and country are in the description or title :)

Amazing, thanks for sharing

Great work! Thanks a lot!

Amazing footage. Well done. You just got yourself a new subscriber :)

[@biotopia5319]

Thank you Tristan!

[@jackanddan]

awesome footage sir....we've done a few underwater videos too and will be doing more....very fun and thanks for sharing....

[@StanTheObserver-lo8rx]

Amano would have loved to see this..it answer critics who say "the jungle" is a better or more natural look. Funny,but see here white sands,compact ground cover of Pennywort,rocks coated in something like moss..hard to make out. Lotus and even that pleated sword plant are all part of his look as in the Lisbon tank. btw Tai, is that big pleated Sword the one sold on internet for $100 in tiny plantlet form? Look much alike and I think you had said it was not in the trade.but,maybe smuggled that's the one?

[@devikaweerasinghe6129]

0:22 are those golden doradoea

[@adamk1924]

Endless, fish can go anywhere they want and when they want. And people tell me they’re happy in 40 gallon tank ? No chance, fish heaven

[@PHAPHA-oq2tn]

My country is beautyful.

[@TheSunIsMyDestroyer]

i would love to go there and catch some beautiful fish, very beautiful country

[@Cgraseck]

Very cool. Are those serpe tetras in the beginning? Also, what are the largish tetras with the black bar on the caudal peduncle and the black dot near the operculum? Cheers, Chris

[@biotopia5319]

Hi there, yes they are Serpaes :) The large tetras are Astyanax lacustris, they get massive!

[@Cgraseck]

@@biotopia5319 Very cool, Thanks so much for making this video! Cheers, Chis

[@gallardo20000]

ok but where's the Syngonanthus belem?

[@StanTheObserver-lo8rx]

I would tell people,slow down the film to.25 and you will see fish,plants and snails and more yo didn't see at full speed. I slow down many of these films..seem to always spot something I missed the first time at regular speed.

[@StanTheObserver-lo8rx]

What Nymphaea sp. is that? and ..I've never seen Nymphea that grow in a strong current along with no pads. OR, is this the coming out of dormancy growth with stems and pads to come later? Nymphaea in the middle of stream..so different.

[@ChunkyOrca]

what's the name of the fish at 2:53?

[@biotopia5319]

Hey, they are Astyanax lacustris (formerly known as A. asuncionensis). :)

[@christiantoni9445]

I feel like traveling time to earth million years ago

[@biotopia5319]

Christian, maybe look up a book called "An unnatural history of the sea", it's a bit depressing but also shows just how much life there was in fresh and salt water before humans began to take over, very interesting book!

[@СветочДхармы]

Say, and the Bodoquena plateau is part of the Pantal region?

[@biotopia5319]

No, Bodoquena highlands form the southern rim just south of the Pantanal :)

[@СветочДхармы]

@@biotopia5319 Thank you for the detailed answer! I tried to find information about the Bodoken plateau on the Russian Internet... there is information only about what Bodoquena of this municipality. Here's what they write: "Bodoquena is a municipality in the Brazilian city in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. It is part of the mesoregion of the South-West of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul." and I found information about Bodokena - a plateau on an English-language website and translated this information into Russian in a translator on the Internet. And you also answered me. I understood it all. Thank you again for your response!

What where those fish with the red tails in 0:21

[@biotopia5319]

Brycon hilarii - 'Piraputanga'

[@tadasdovii8262]

What small leaved plant is on 0:14 ?

[@biotopia5319]

Bacopa australis :)

@@biotopia5319 Thank You. im huge fan of Your videos. Im already decided do my next aquarium dedicated to You and Rio Sucuri. same plants, as much posible impressed scape from video. and EVEN UNDERWATER SPRINGS. Im testing equipment how do this nicely. Eager to see more videos. Good luck and creations.

[@StanTheObserver-lo8rx]

The Dallas Aquarium put those Brycons in their large Amazon tank with Arapaimas. Surprisingly,no Pacu or Arowana...so those Brycon spend the time biting the hell out of each other's tails and fins..horrible huge chunks missing. Even the big Red Tail cats dorsal fins are a bit short. What gets me? The DA must be blind to keep that going. 🤦‍♂️

[@morrisfalker2773]

Why don't they never show these underwater worlds about plants and fish on National Geographic/Animal Planet :/

[@biotopia5319]

Most people want to see stuff from the sea (and big marine mammals etc) and aren't all that interested in freshwater habitats...I don't understand 'most people' :P

[@tadasdovii8262]
