Black Neon Tetra Habitat
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- Exploring a creek within the Taquari river basin in the north of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, which is home to the famous Black Neon Tetra, Hyphessobrycon herbertaxelrodi.
The habitat has been degraded thanks to the dumping of rubbish and construction materials after a bridge was rebuilt over the creek. The habitat is also surrounded by encroaching cattle ranches and soy farms, which contribute to the destruction of waterways through nutrient inflow, agrotoxins, the trampling of riverbanks, sedimentation and water extraction and diversion.
Thanks to recent rains, the water was at times cloudy, but still an an amazing place to be.
The fishes I managed to ID here include:
Aequidens cf. plagiozonatus
Ancestrorhynchus pantaneiro
Aphyocharax rathbuni
Apistogramma trifasciata
Astyanax lacustris

Black neons are so underrated
I agree
Very cool. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us. I may never get there but at least I can say hey I've seen that. Before it's all gone.😢
Perfect timing: I just picked up a group of 25 black neons yesterday!
Really awesome 🤩
Beautiful footage - the biodiversity is incredible here. Whilst it was strewn with garbage and construction material I presume the constant rain and flow of water kept the water quality pristine
Yayyy, thanks T! Black Neons also my fave.
und im aqua schwimmen sie im hellen klaren wasser mit viel pflanzen... 😁👍👍👍
Black neon's are very beautiful.
Wow! So far that is the biggest school of Black Neons I have seen in a natural habitat video.
Thanks Tai!
Fantastic video. Love the insight into their natural habitat and neighbours
Amazing
Many thanks for sharing👍
Greets from the Middle of Germany🙂
The 1st time I had seen black neons, in an aquarium, I was quite unimpressed. Seeing them in their natural habit, I can now see their beauty! Thank-you for sharing!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Great video production Tai ... I was waiting for you too break surface surround by shoppers 😁
Love the bkack neons, great video thanks for sharing!
I'm a big fan of your videos, more please 😅
Thank you so much for this unique and great moment .
Could be Interesting to set up a "underwater construction dump" biotope😅
beautiful
Finally....How long have I been waiting for you to upload something new
I hope someday you will upload a video of the Moenkhausia sanctaefilomenae /red-eyed tetra / habitat
It would be so refreshing to see aquascaping shops be brave enough to set up more natural biotopes, not just nature aquariums. Aquarium Gardens had a lovely Tai aquascape only to take it down because it looked too messy and overgrown. Shame.
Superbe vidéo , malheureusement de la pollution comme chez nous en France.
Sensacional....
Wow. So good to see them in the wild.
I wish I could see a school of gymnocorymbus ternetzi in the wild.
Are there places where they can be filmed in the wild.
I mean, clear enough water?
I have never seen a proper video of them in the wild.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Can you tell something about water conditions ?
