Awesome footage. It is great to see our aquarium fish in their natural habitat.
This channel is an inspiration. I absolutely admire your work, Oliver!
thank you! that is great to hear.
I really love these videos that explore various biotopes.
Very educating video for those looking to learn
about certain aquatic life in the wild for how to
set up an aquarium for wild caught fish.
Thank you Oliver. I am very excited about raising discus is colony in deep, heavily scaped conditions with strong current.
Sounds great!
amazon is a paradise for the beautiful creatures . human all need to protect it!!!!!!
Excellent video 👍💜🐟
Thank you 👍
Awesome info, awesome video!
Thank you!
I love this man, god I wish I could go on a trip to film in the remote parts of South America’s hidden rivers that are just filled with life
It is fascinating to get to see the natural habitat of my South American Cichlids! Really enjoying these videos.
Would love to see some angles & the spot where the Geophagus live!
check the Geophagus guides, we also have a video on Geophagus argyrostictus in nature.
love this vid Oliver
thank you.
Phantastic to see all these fishes in nature. Thanks
thank you!
This is so neat!
thank you!
another incredible video Oliver. Your efforts and incredible insights to understanding the natural habitats will be invaluable to aquarists and the scientific community for years to come
thank you. working on something African next...!
Very cool video! I love the detailed look at the ecology in the Orinoco
Nice video . Fo shizz
amazing 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you 👍
Love the "new" Corydoras.
Absolutely Amazing
Amazing content! Tks for sharing the real habitat!
Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful Video ,thank you .
Beautiful
Another amazing and informative video Oliver. Seeing fish in their natural habitats really challenges many of the concepts of fish keeping that have been in the hobby for decades. Thanks for doing these videos. Can't wait for the next ones.
more to come, when there is time...
Amazing,❤❤❤
I´m totally flashed!
Thank you!
thank you!
Your videos are wonderful! Thank you so much!!!
great to hear, thank you!
Danke, Oliver ! Deine Videos sind herausragend, nicht nur bzgl. der Bildqualität, sondern auch und besonders wg. Qualität/Informationsgehalt deiner Kommentierung.
Vielen Dank!
stunning
Thank you! 😊
This was great. I have Farlowella vittata breeding like crazy in my 100 gallon aquarium. Decent flow in the tank but have to use an older style closed power head because they are not the smartest fish and I have had them swim into the open grilled power heads and get chopped in half!
VIVA VENEZUEEELAAAA!!!
~ SO ~ SpEciAL ! ✌🏻
Top tier content, excited to see where the next video takes us! Even if its just an update on the huge Xingu rapid aquarium
As the book goes on sale we will have a bunch of Xingu themed videos
Very interesting
Love your videos ❤️❤️❤️
Very well put together viedo, educational, informative, awesome!
thank you!
Hi Oliver, thanks for the wonderful footage. The corydoras shown from 10:00 I believe is a colour form of C. simulatus from its black eye mask, striped caudal fin, and the presence of black pigments along the dorsum. They are very variable species and I have seen them with colour pattern similar to this.
Yes, that is possible, i never caught the fish, only filmed them...
Wow, those Farlowella's are gnarly dude!
yes, made for high flow too.
These videos are so awesome! Very inspiring!
thank you!
🥰 Love ur Uploads, Oliver🥰
thank you!
Fantastic stuff! Would love to see similar videos from African habitats.
coming soon...
Awesome video on the natural habitat of the tropical fish I love to keep. South American fish are the bomb!!!! , Except the leporinus, that fish is a pain in the butt!!;
Incredible! Thank you for sharing!
Something that's intrigued me is how some fish that are quite common in the aquarium hobby have zero footage of them in their natural habitat. Do you by any chance have footage of pictus catfish or otocinclus?
pictus are scavengers in the main branch of the Amazon etc, never seen them in clear water. Otocinclus footage is too old to be useable. I do have another video that shows Parotocinclus, i don't remember if we used it in a video yet, or if it is upcoming.
Nice video!Thanks. (I have your orinoco book.)
great!
I’ve watched most of your videos. No one in the world has ever documented the fishes of South America like this. Just outstanding! I am assuming you are an ichthyologist?
thank you - no I am not an ichthyologist
@@belowwater but you know all the scientific names flawlessly and know so much about habitat and fish behavior…….may I ask what your profession is then?
@@robdavinroy1761 I have been importing fish and writing books about them for 30 years...
I would like to see how the Inirida river look like cause Im setting up biotope. By the way, everytime I watch this video and I always get surprised by the beautiful fishes in their natural habitat.
I have a blackwater video from the Rio Atabapo. The Inirida is a big river, most of our fish come more from small creeks that flow into it, just like the fish i show in the 2 Orinoco videos.
The Leporinus friderici have a pattern suprisingly reminiscent of wild phenotype Three Spot Gourami (Trichogaster trichopterus) that are not in spawning coloration, with additional spots.
yes, that pattern works! This species is really wide spread in the Amazon, with many similar patterned species also.
Amazing video. When was this filmed? Did you went to another places in Estado Bolivar, like Caroni River?
some of it in 1999, some of it in 2005, we are digitizing some old mini DV tapes and using it for making videos. I Filming this with modern cameras is a lot easier and cleaner....
@@belowwater oh I see. Today is very rare for foreigners come to Venezuela to film fish habitat.
VIVA VENEZUEEELAAA!!!
Dear Oliver, thank you for this amazing video!
Could you please tell what kind of corydoras species is that on 10:02 number 24?
Would appreciate your reply.
Kind regards, Victor
it's likely a new undescribed species, that is why i did not put a name on the video. It is closest to C.stenocephalus, which occurs in the middle Orinoco.
@@belowwater Thank you for your kind reply, do you know which described corydoras species can be found in the same Habitat with Mikrogeophagus Ramirezi?
@victorsvyatyy7093 my first choice would be _C.concolor_ , I have seen them together several times, and it's a beautiful fish. We also have a video on _M.ramirezi_ in nature if you look through the channel
@@belowwater Thank you, Oliver!
And to the combination of c.concolor and ramirezi, what kind of tetras are to be found in the same habitat? I am trying to recreate ramirezi habitat aquarium and your kind reply is really appreciated 👍
Who is a predator that eats Corydoras?
I was pondering your piranha scale eating digestive patterns mentioned and wondered if it's like grit for birds needed to grind up
piranhas, Crenicichla, Cichla, Hoplias, pretty much anyone that can grab one. Those Cataprion really are scale eaters, it is not on occasion, there is enough nutrition in there. Scale eating fish also exist in the Rift Lakes in Africa, the Congo, also Exodon in the Amazon are scale eaters.
@@belowwater interesting that so many others do it, yet they remain undigested in the digestive tract of Cataprion.
At some point a stomach full of undigested scales is going to create a problem I'd think.
Sooo...
Does that mean I can put loricaria with hillstream loaches?
I don't see why not. The environment here would be somewhat similar. Just remember that at higher flow, you need to feed the fish more, and make sure you feed food that is accessible, falls to the bottom (or turn off the flow during feeding).
@@belowwater good to know, and no need to worry about feeding, I already got that covered. Thanks!

Isn't Moenkhausia dichroura a mistake? Looks like Bryconops
yes, could be, both fish are everywhere and in this habitat
