    I always wanted to visit Thailand for its natural aquatic wildlife , their aquatic fona and floral is beyond our imagination... it's a natural treasure chest for aquatic lovers , not to forget that most of the world most valuable and most appreciated fish come from Thailand... so thank you to each and every one who fights daily to maintain this wildlife and their habitat ... and thank you to the team for sharing these treasures with us through your videos

    This is a planet earth level documentary. This is where I grew up, catching these fish on the weekends with a bunch of other kids. Getting to see them under water like this is just amazing. These beautiful Rasboras we call them “Pla Siu (see-u)” Obrigado!!

      You must be so so happy to see that these fish is still alive and we as aquarist must do everything to preserve all endangered species by breeding these fish and spreading them around the hobby. So in the future we can reintroduce them if they happen to go extinct in the wild.

    I am from India, I am into aquarium fish keeping hobby. I explore my local streams, paddy fields, creeks looking for different aquarium plants and fish, which I collect and keep in my aquarium. This video clarified lots of my doubts about many different species of plants and fishes.. Thank you so much..

    Ah this reminded me of my childhood. I spent my entire childhood catching these fishes. During the monsoon, after weeks and weeks of heavy rainfall my entire village used to get flooded and we would see all these fishes swimming in the streets and fields, the rice fields used to become like an ocean. Miss those days. From Zebra Fish to colorful Gouramis to different species of Danios. Watching them again in this video seems like I am meeting my friends after a very, very long time.

    I lived in Thailand for 16 years, my house was next to ricefields.
    This video is idealistic and misleading. Real life no one uses buffalo in ricefields anynore. They just put them and cows on the ricefields to eat the stubble after harvisting the rice with tractors and machinery.
    Farmers poison the water with chemicals to kill snails and weeds.
    The drains and streams have nostly beem dug into steep sided concrete drains..
    Also lots of the fields are being filled in with red earth and housing estates built on them. It is really sad to see this 😢
