    ‎ On Day 2 of collecting fish in the Amazon basin, we found ourselves wading in nearly waist-deep mud at one location and ended up catching a ton of fish via the seine net at another location, such as corydoras, Geophagus cichlids, and whiptail catfish. Every year during Peru's dry season (roughly May to October), the waterways recede and we found many fish stranded on dry land. On Day 3, we used dip nets to catch squeaking catfish and seine fishing to search for Amazon puffers. Find out who tripped in the water and who got hit by a jumping fish.

      They didn't test for any parameters. Clear water is abnormal and it would've been nice to see the conditions like nitrates and pH

    • @AquariumCoop
      @AquariumCoop  Před 2 lety +28

      Watch previous trips, we’ve done that. Essentially no nitrates and ph is most often 6.8 to 7.2

      @@AquariumCoop okay thank you. I thought one of the purposes was to learn more about fish, and having no habitat data on this trip was disappointing to me. A lost opportunity that doesn't come often.
      Personally, I'd want more data unless you're going to all the same places as before... even then the more the merrier. Idea if you haven't done so is keep a record map of where you went, when and note the water and air conditions would be really informative to show me imo.
      I appreciate what you and your team do for us bringing those videos

    Cory, coke was sold with real cane sugar and in recyclable bottles just like those in Peru when I was a kid. You could see stamps for the individual bottling plants - one was in my town growing up. Wish we still did that, much more eco friendly.

    • @pamelapilling6996
      @pamelapilling6996 Před 2 lety +1

      My home town in Canada had a glass pop bottle refilling plant too. We would take our empties back, go in and help find rejects and they would give us a bottle each for free. Highlight of a summer weekend.

    That was a young yellow-spotted river turtle and they are listed listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN, just one level below Endangered. They are Vulnerable because these species are used for trade and food by some residential or native people. But seeing a young one is a great indication that their are breeding populations in that area of Peru.
