Snorkeling in the Amazon River basin can be both dangerous and rewarding. In this Fincast come along as Mike Tuccinardi takes us underwater to the natural world that includes popular aquarium fish. John interviews Mike as he describes the beautiful underwater video he recorded in the Rio Negro river -- one of the largest tributaries to the Amazon. Mike reveals how he recorded the video, and discusses the fish that appear on camera. He also talks about swimming unknowingly over and around anacondas and dangerous electric eels.

As a Brazilian (from the southern state of Paraná), I must say I'd never imagined that the sources of tropical aquarium fish were so much alike the aquarium the supply themselves - proportions kept aside, of course.

I so want to do that. this is brilliant. more video of fish in the wild please. I'm a great believer in establishing honest biotopes and this sort of video is really inspiring. thanks so much I really enjoyed that!

my god this is pure gold, amazing how the actual tetras we get in a store actually live, now I do realize why the hide throughout of the day, the water they live in tends to be a little dark with lots of organic material, but in the end is cristaline water, great video, congratulations.

I really enjoyed this video. I have a 25 gallon natural tank set up to mimic the freshwater stream by my yard where I live in Alabama. I would love more info about natural biotopes

Tetras in their natural environment - ahhh, nothing like some nice, murky, dirty water filled with tannins Tetras inside of a fish tank - THE WATER HASN'T BEEN CHANGED IN 2 WEEKS. THE LIGHT, SLOWLY FADING.... GOODBYE CRUEL WORLD. ☠️

Great video! Thanks for sharing. Love seeing actual footage from where these fishes come from.

@fincasters 7 лет назад

Thanks Cole. It's really interesting Isn't it? We see coral reefs all the time ... but it's rare to see fresh water fish in the wild.

@henrykater9728 3 года назад

Its the same with plants. In the wild you will see several species growing together, mixed, grasses mixed with taller stem plants. Just like the fish do. Great video - reminds me of Theodore Roosevelt's Amazon travels diary.

@henrykater9728 3 года назад

The other thing is fresh water is not like seawater - you get temperature swings. Wild fish are used to it.

the ones with the red eyes looked like diamond tetras

What's the name of the tetra you're talking about at around 4:57?

@fincasters 5 лет назад

www.seriouslyfish.com/species/hemigrammus-ulreyi/ Mike talks bout it being snow locally as the Brichan. I believe the link I shared will tell you more about the "Broken Line Tetra."

So cool.

@KapitaenAdde 3 года назад

hello, great video. I live in Germany and work in a pet shop. Our imports often include a few bycatches. also the one shown in minute 5:31. does anyone know what the species is called?

@mcstabba 2 года назад

I wonder what sort of plant were shooting through the leaf litter in many places on the bottom of the stream. Are there any Corydoras there? Plecos?

@xisotopex 5 лет назад

what fish is that at 11:51? upper part of the frame, in the center, looks be a checkerboard pattern or salt and pepper pattern...

@fincasters 5 лет назад

www.tfhmagazine.com/details/articles/the-checkerboard-dwarf-cichlid-dicrossus-filamentosus.htm Really Cool fish. Checkerboard cichlid. I have kept them. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pI7Vn-OqTeo.html

@MrColanzar2007 7 лет назад

Can the researchers do some freshwater fish research in the Philippines? There's been no study about that despite it having different bodies of water.

@LOL59hahaha 5 лет назад

Yes please. I also thought of that when i visited Allen, Samar for a commercial shoot before. We went to a small creek with a fall and i saw tons of shrimps! I dont know what kind of shrimps tho. Thats when i dreamt of surveying all freshwater areas in the country

@MrFoai 5 лет назад

What's the "thing" at the background which has 2-3 guppy in it?

@fincasters 5 лет назад

It’s actually a jellyfish aquarium!

@MrFoai 5 лет назад

@@fincasters It's more like a speaker or some kind of box not a proper fish tank.

Thank you for your videos, awesome stuff... But there is just no video where I can see a Neon Tetra in the wild, the videos show everything but Neon's Why? What happened to all the Neon's? Paracheirodon innesi Just cardinals, cardinals, but I want see Neon's in the Wild

@jakeisham4721 6 лет назад

Steffan Jansen van Vuuren neons aren’t from hot water areas and are most likely tank bred if that helps

@xisotopex 5 лет назад

@@jakeisham4721 there are neons in Mikolji videos

@fincasters 5 лет назад

I'll keep working on that!

@troyclench3738 4 года назад

What are the water temperatures there

@fincasters 4 года назад

@goldenmodzftw4593 7 лет назад

It's sad to think they're leaving this beautiful place to travel for days in a plastic bag, then end up in a, probably too small, aquarium in someone's living room.

@mattadrev471 7 лет назад

WOW.....aweosme!

@fincasters 7 лет назад

Planning a follow up on how to make aquariums more like the river

@mattadrev471 7 лет назад

I got JUST the thing for you! Check out these guys, been buying their stuff for months and truely amazing how amazon fish will react plus makes a tank look REAL! (aka like nature ;) tanninaquatics.com/ Email the guy..i am sure he would love to work with you. More people need to know about these amazing products.

@fincasters 7 лет назад

I'll do that. I believe Mike knows them as well -- or at least their products. Looks like I'll need to set up another aquarium. Damn. :)

@kye88 7 лет назад

Its great to see the Natural Habitat and the look of their environment. However I am against taking fish from the wild for many, many reasons. Ideally there is no need to take fish from the wild as nowadays we should have the Equipment and resources to breed in captivity.. In my country it is illegal to take from the wild, I just hope that there are limits on the Quantity that can be taken as this is now animals become extinct.

@rakshitapadmajitweerakkody8350 2 года назад

More visuals and less lecturing would have been nice.
