I live just a few hours north of there. I've never been to that specific spring but have visited many others. Thanks for visiting, showcasing it, and teaching us more about this amazing ecosystem.
I wish you could have seen the Everglades when I was a child in the 1950s. My parents were early advocates for the preservation of wild spaces. It was already diminished but not as badly as now. I went back in the 1990s and was so saddened by the contrast. Gators like the temp to between 82 and 92 degrees F…they can survive colder temps…even freezing…but try to avoid it. It’s good to see such a healthy spring. So exquisite. Sad to hear it was devastated by the hurricane.
Crystal River is the most famous, but there are hundreds of sporting here in Florida...We are on a limestone base, so there's holes everywhere...! Luckily I'm in Sarasota, far south of the sink hole alley...! It's really cool up there though...! Thanks Chris, keep up your awesomeness and go enjoy some nature today...!
amazing! so great to see aquarium-trade plants in their natural habitat! it allows me to see how this plants grow and develope in nature... thanks for this wonderful video!
I live in Florida and after seeing this video i literally jotted down notes on making a Florida river-like/ spring biotope! Plants like Vallisneria Americana, ludwigia repens, Hydrocotyle verticulata, and long-leafed saggitaria to mimic saggitaria kurziana since ur right, I've never really seen that species in the aquarium trade b4. And lobelia cardinalis too, which i was surprised from this video that it was native to Florida and eastern America; i never knew that and i always loved the shape of that plant! As for a native fish I'm not sure yet, i think maybe a native killifish since i think Florida has a few species like the one you had in the video, but I'll see, it'll be a while so i can still brainstorm and wutnot
Your passion for the hobby and the beautiful photography is always something I look forward to. A 22 pound turtle would be an unforgettable site for sure. The array of plant species, fish, turtles, cray fish, shrimp, snails and other aquatic life in the springs is amazing. Thank you for showing us all of the beautiful nature you find to explore. 👍❤️👍
This place is Spectacular Chris!, you were lucky to see and film it before the cyclone, I to hope it has recovered, there isn't many magical places like this left or are very few and far between, Thank you for sharing your adventure 🙂
Beautiful! Your videos are my favourites! ☺️ I have a question though about another topic. I wonder which of these species will interbreed: Galaxy rasbora, Danio Erythromicron and Celestial pearl Danio. Can you keep any of them together? 🙂 Thanks!
@@chrislukhaup I don't doubt that there was flooding or that some kind of storm had passed. All I am saying is that it couldn't of had been Hurricane Katrina because the year is wrong and the location is wrong.
Wow this is absolutely gorgeous and a wonderful nice warm place to visit. Thank you for the love you gave this place and for sharing.

Thanks, Chris! Every year I say I will take a vacation to snorkel in the springs or Florida. You’ve convinced me I need to actually do it!
Thank-you, Chris! I'm glad that you were able to capture these beautiful scenes.
Great video 🎉
Hey!!
Great footage! Such a beautiful place! Too bad these north American species weren't more available in the trade and captive bred.
Waw keren sekali pemandangan dalam air 👍👍👍🙏
That was great!!!
Incredible video, thanks Chris!
Wow! This is amazing! I love these location spotlights. You make me more excited to explore local rivers

I met you here briefly about 4 yrs ago. Maybe 5. Wonder when you were there last. Concerned about condition of it now in 2023

i am not sure about the interbreeding..i keep them separate
8:31Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005 and it hit nowhere near this area.
but there was a flooding in that time and the water was murky for weeks..that killed the plants..i saw it.

When we're you there last?

People from YT are gonna pollute this habitat now ;/
