[@michaela-be4le]

I can only imagine the excitement and pleasure of swimming amongst these beautiful creatures

[@Fishtory]

Right on!

[@NiX_aKi]

Cool 😎

[@jimt5683]

I wish you could travel the world and capture all the fresh water fish species in their natural habitat. I love to see that!

[@belowwater]

Yes, budget limits how many places a year one can get to, and making a book takes years.

[@hxl6162]

I was literately in my LFS today and they had about 7 very large Xingu black tetras. So nice to see how they live in their native habitat.

[@belowwater]

yes, they need lots of current and do not like to sit in bags too long!

[@TheBobRick]

Fantastic, beautiful insights! It is so great to see these fish in their natural habitats. Thank you!

[@belowwater]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MacPNW]

Amazing. This would be a dream career to dedicate so much timd knto exploring snd studying these environments. Convergent evolution is crazy. The pike cichlids at 4:20 appear so similar Teleogramma brichardi in Africa. Great stuff, i need to get this book

[@belowwater]

yes, _Teleocichla, Teleogramma_ and _Etheostoma_ all look rather alike! Thank you!

[@jacekjakimiec9987]

[@YannHoiret.Fanatik-discus]

😍😍😍

[@maan9176]

Wow those are some amazing shots! 😍 6:01 in the center close to the camera, what kind of snail is that laying on a rock?

[@belowwater]

_Doryssa macapa_ , a very common huge snail in the Xingu

[@maan9176]

@@belowwater Cool, doesn't seem to occur in the aquarium trade unfortunately.

[@belowwater]

@@maan9176 No, i don't think any of the Xingu invertebrates have been exported. There are some very beautiful crabs also (shown in the book!)

[@KnowingGodExplorers]

Have you tried doing a live stream on one of your outings? You have an amazing life. Getting to personally see Gods creations..you must always be in awe.

[@belowwater]

With the current cost of luggage there would be no way to bring a satellite link for something like this.

[@plecocicho]

Cant wait for the book. Are there any pics of the lower rio Xingu with its river -lake habitats, especially xingu discus habitats?

[@belowwater]

yes, there are. The discus are not in lakes at all, they are in the main river. The scene at 11:13 is 10 min from where discus occur, in deep water, in the main river. Almost no light - there are Xingu discus photos in the book! The same area we saw Cre.macrophthalma, Caq.spectabile, Acanthicus etc

[@asmithsmith795]

Thanks for posting this fantastic video. Email sent to preorder your new book.

[@belowwater]

great, thank you, we will be in touch when books are ready to ship!

[@GreenCanvasInteriorscape]

Do the black Pike that hunt plecostomus and crab have a dental structure similar to a pacu in that they can crunch crunchy things? Do any of the freshwater crabs make it to the aquarium trade?

[@TMKAquarist]

I want a book for sure! Just sent u the request ❤

[@belowwater]

Thank you.

[@JoaoPaulo-dk6mf]

Can we get the book here in Brasil?

[@belowwater]

yes, from Leandro Sousa.

[@CharlesLales]

Great job, trying to order the book in EU / Germany.. any possibility? ;-)

[@belowwater]

yes, Tetra Verlag will have the books available next week, shipping from Germany.

[@CharlesLales]

@@belowwater Excellent, thanks for the info!

[@gerrygolda323]

Are there catfish in the Xingu besides plecos and whiptails?

[@belowwater]

yes, lots including some endemic species, there are many Doradids for example.

[@KnowingGodExplorers]

Have you ever been attacked or in fear for your life.. now that would make a good book or video.

[@belowwater]

i have not, I think there are plenty of youtube channels for that.

[@NaldoOliveira-nm9es]

😢a idro mineração mais 18 mineradora esta destruindo o xingu. Sou indigina. E as ongs é algo abominável.

[@EuroGupper]

Why do researchers rarely or never visit Surinam for discoveries? If you ask anyone they won't be able to tell you where it's located on the world map 😂

[@belowwater]

Not sure, I was there 3 weeks ago.
