    How good we can see natural Amazonian ecosystem. This video is inspirational for right aquarium setup for fish species from black water habitat.

    Seeing our favourite "ornamental" fish in their natural, native environment might be a strange sight at the very beginning, but then we have to recognize it's reminding us that, despite being captive-bred in mass since decades, they still have their roots in this kind of places, and we must strive to imitate it.

    One thing I learned watching so many of these videos of fish in their native environs. I used to worry too much about fish in my tank getting tired fighting against the currents created by some filter systems. These fish here are constantly working against currents in these rivers. Whether they are small tetras or even some slow swimming fish like these pencils, they are thriving in waters that demand that they work hard to get where they want to go, or stay where they want to be. that constant tread mill of currents in their lives, is what they are built for.

      @@PascalWolterman I don't think so... actually Hoplocharax goethei mimics Hemigrammus analis, which is why they have similar color patterns, but it is far less common than its model. It's possible however that a few Hoplocharax may have been taped mixed with the H. analis.
