    Once again, just beautiful! Thank you so much for putting in the hard work so others across the world can see all that the world’s water ways have to offer. Can’t wish to see part three!

      Thank you for watching and enjoying it, I'm hoping part 3 will be the best and the longest but I' not promising anything yet, but from what I've seen on some of the footage I'm very excited my self 🙂

    As for a Northern European, Australia for us is literally on the antipodal point. I wish i could afford a trip to australia/newzealand some time in my lifetime just to experience what it's like.

      I don't think you would be disappointed, I have been to Europe twice in my younger days and it is very different.

    Hi Jase
    I can remember swimming in Lake Eacham before the archer fish were introduced. You use to be able to sit real still and the little native fish would come up and start nibbling at your skim. It was very disappointing when they were wiped out by introduce species.
    Enjoying your videos keep up the good work.

      Thanks Ken! yes it is a bit depressing seeing a species getting wiped out just from negligence, they should of wiped out all the other pest species before they introduced them back but it's done now I guess.

    Lovely! Wonderful to see. I used to keep rainbowfish, but then moved out of fish towards spiders. I now keep tarantulas (captive bred) from this exact region. So many new species are being found, I'd love to see footage of any you see. I love the biodiversity in this video. 👍

      Thank you! yes the biggest Bird Eating spiders come from this region, they get up to 16cm, I haven't stayed long enough to get right into that stuff, I would love to go there and camp for a few days though next time I go upas it would be a great place to do some night spotting, I used to keep spiders, Scorpions and reptiles as well.

    If you ever make it back to the Tablelands I can honestly recommend the Beatrice river behind Millaa Milla, we’ve found Tandanus Tandanus in what we assume where albino varieties. Some stunning cold and clear rivers with sooty grunter feeding almost exclusively on native berries from jungle vines.

      YES! I did enjoy it, both part 2 and part 1. Seriously and frankly speaking they depict the fresh water fauna of Australia from a point of view near to mine, with a look to the territory which helps to understand the greatness of Australian natural treasures. Thank you for your work. Matteo

    G'day Jason, Another great video. The scenery and wildlfe was spectacular (never knew that yellow flowered grevilleas were a wild species). Does the original Lake Eacham Rainbowfish still exist as an aquarium specimen? And the rainbowfish found in the Tully River etc, are they a local variant of the Lake Eacham species or a true Lake Eacham? Did you collect any specimens during your travels? Looking forward to part 3.

    • @australianbiotopes4563
      @australianbiotopes4563  Рік тому +3

      Thank you! yes it was great to see them flowering, they were all through that region, I got there at the right time, some say they have them but most actually look like a variant from the other creeks from around that area, and no the others are just variants as well, and no I didn't do any collecting in this region, I try not to now a days as it can be a bit of a hassle, I'd rather get fish from people that are breeding them, it works out cheaper and better for the hobby but in saying that if I need fish for videos ext. I have to make sure they have trail to the original wild ones, just incase they have been hybridised, not the best practice but it does happen, we did collect in the last video of the one fish as it has been harder to find good ones in the hobby and it wasn't in National Park so we got a few for breeders, number 3 should be good, a lot more species and nice creeks north of Cairns.

    If you are still in the area Jason and have a 4x4 the Clohesy river just before Davies creek has a fig tree that I feel is better than the curtain fig. I live in Kuranda and we go to this one at least once a month.

      No long gone mate, I have so much more to do in this part of the country, I know there are a lot more spots around there but we were in a bit of a rush in this part as we where running out of time, I could go to the region for the next 10 years and still make good content, I have been going up that way for years and have still a lot to check out and film, unfortunately I did most of it in the past without video just a camera, a beautiful part of the world I never get sick of.

      Yes it could but unfortunately I don't have that sort of money, and to make it even worse I lost my drone filming these as well, maybe when my content gets more popular I might be able to afford one 🙂

    Is there an actual reason why Australia has some of the most boring freshwaster fish in the world? (silver or plain) is it something to do with them being able to handle heat better with basic color? or we just unlucky compared to the rest of the world.

    • @australianbiotopes4563
      @australianbiotopes4563  Рік тому +1

      To be honest I can't answer that one, but we do have some nice coloured ones, some of these are nice when put into an aquarium but in nature they tend to loose the colour especially in tannin water, when you get them out you can see some of the nice colours, I do have to say though that it seems the more tropical the area around the world seems the more colourful the fish, even here for some reason.
