We have the same thing here in Canada in Banff National Park where there are hotsprings. This is close to the Bank Springs Hotel. Runoff from a hotspring joins a river. Where they meet the water is just the right temperature for these tropical fish to survive year-round. There are also tropical orchids that survive along the hot spring .
Wow Im originally from canada, i loved aquariums, we now live in nicauragua , lots of tropical fish, they nip youre feet when you dip them in the rivers, I plan to get a tank and catch my own fish soon, Im amazed by this creek in Germany, never imagined such a place, great video.
Hey @Kulfishadventure someone told me that in your home country, would exist a river in the Banff National Park, near hot springs with tropical fish. Greetings Ben
Yes I read that one Ben, makes sense with thermal springs, where I am now have cool fish everywhere, cant wait to set up an aquarium or outdoor pond soon.Cheers from Nicauragua.@@PlantedTank
Hello Ben, is been a while and so nice to see a new guppy video. The convict fish coloring are awesome and so rich. what I love about your video is that you name the fish and also you put a picture to explain in details all information. A Huge thumbs-up to you my friend.
Wild guppies are native to Trinidad and Antigua. I just went to Trinidad and ask the locals about the wild guppies the said they were extinct. I didn't believe them so I went down the river which was low because of the try season and found them and also saw the bronze cory catfish i was in about a foot of water. I also saw cichlids but coudnlt catch them
@@PlantedTank thank you. I'm in the UK and there is a stunning small cooling lake for a power plant near me it's full of fish but has a massive security fence around it
where I stay in South Africa there use to be a power station using sea water for cooling and the channel leading to the river was full of tropical marine fish then one day the power station came to the end of its life the fish life returned to all cold water species
Really beautiful video! Beautiful fishes. Do you know if the area have a large range of snails aquatic species? I’m always curious about how they can live in the wild. I’m from canada and i would love to take my endlers and guppies in the wild but because of winter they probably die… thank you for your nice work 👋🏼✌️
The plants die every winter and come back when the days get longer again. Since the water temperature is the same all year round it's probably the lack of light during winter that kills them.
Other plants also seem to be gone. Crypts like C.balansae and another I couldn't identify were in thick stands. Now gone. The water seems to have gotten whiter..ash? Obvious that larger colorful fish are easily caught by predators. The creek is pretty shallow.
I'd generally agree, but these ones aren't going anywhere. They're stuck in this artificially heated environment. If the power plant stops flushing temperate water into this creek they won't survive. Tropical and sub-tropical areas are different--south American aquarium fish are invasive in Asia, Australia, Hawaii and the southern US to name a few. When fish are being dumped in a climate zone that corresponds to their region of origin they may spread uncontrollably and displace the native fauna.
@@grill6411 Goldfish and carp in SE Asia tolerate 30 C but they die at 33-34 C. When kept in ponds in Thailand they're at their upper limit and will survive in deeper or shaded ponds only. Conversely, guppies and mollies may survive down to 10 C.
@@grill6411 Does the water temperature reach 34 C? My relatives have fish farms in Thailand and the water temperature stays below 30 C even though the air temperature may rise to 35 C plus during the day. Speaking of invasive species, I've scooped Plecostomus (South American armored catfish) out of Thai rivers and guppies are very common around rural areas. These represent an ecological threat, unlike the guppy creek in Germany.
This is the coolest little secret creek ever. It’s so interesting to see how the fish are slowly evolving back to their natural form.
Thank you Chad 👋🏼
I'd love to come here and catch a few for a home aquarium especially the mollies ❤

What an amazing discovery shame about the shrimp vanishing. Do you know the heat source for this stream ?
You find often those stream in the near of power plant stations or industrial areas, where they fed the creek with cooling water.
@@PlantedTank thank you. I'm in the UK and there is a stunning small cooling lake for a power plant near me it's full of fish but has a massive security fence around it
@Ben bear sounds amazing I'd love to go discover the fish there 😄
Super interesting video! Thanks for sharing!

thank you for having pictures and names of the fishes
You are welcome
Very nice emotional i m now. Love from india brother 😊

Schönes Update, Ben 👍
Danke dir 👍
Wow amazing. In future years cichlids could be the dominant species

ich kenne den guppybach, ist schon interessant wie und was sich dort so entwickelt... 🤩👍👍👍
Amazing 🤩👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Nice🎉
Wow, this pretty wild!
Or maybe feral is more fitting here...
Thank you for this glimpse into that local, yet exotic habitat!
Cichlids and livebearers are very curious animals they love to get close to humans.
Hey Ben.. I have not seen any shrimps..why they disappeared?
Maybe because of the winter 😑. Many hiding spots between the plants are not available.
How is it that the stays warm all year round?
Should make a small natural dam for more water depth
I love your video plz keep going.
I try :-D
How do Molly's get along with Convicts? In aquariums people live feed Convicts with Mollys...
Чувак,твой канал просто находка👍
So geheimnisvoll ist der für deutsche zumindest nicht.😉 Das Video ist klasse.

The eb and flow of nature
Is that an Australoherus Facetus 4:35 into the movie?
A kind of i think so... but this one is really dark
Hobbyists dream find !!!
where is it located 😅
Where is this located
Amazing 🎉❤🇵🇭
how do you keep the temperature under control?
I mean how do you keep the temperature above 20 degrees in winter
The creek is fed by cooling water. You find those creeks in the near of a power plant station or industrial areas.
Breed of guppy whose pic is on thumbnail, I have same guppy but don't know his breed
It must be a Guppy Leopard, Poecilia reticulata
I will donate my pond grown guppy grass back here if I can
Never been but looks really cool
It’s probably not a good idea to do something like that since you could introduce unwanted pests or even diseases
@@JirapatRayon agreed I figure aquariums I have only taken it to the store to take it anywhere else but it’s nice
Grazie molto interessante, quindi questo fiume si trova in Germania?
Vedere i Malawi fa un certo effetto 😮
Si in germania!
@@PlantedTank 🙏
ever heard of celsius?
seeing how it changed so much makes me feel so sad
me too
Is it allowed to catch any?
Not in germany ✌🏼
Lol looks like fall 2021 and spring 2023, maybe compair fall and fall next time
I'll be honest I'm thinking about dumping all my rice fish in a small lake near me :))) unless heavily predated upon they could establish.
Weißt du warum, die Pflanzen dort eingegangen sind?
Ja. Ich vermute, weil sie im Winter zu wenig Licht abbekommen haben
@@PlantedTank das hätte ich spontan auch gedacht, mal hoffen das die wieder kommen sieht ja sonst ziemlich kahl aus.
What country is this in
In germany. Youmust watch this here for more details: ua-cam.com/video/iFVCDZhND3Q/v-deo.html
Hey
Where's the native fish?
There are no native fishes
The invasive species wiped them out.
👍
Hey Ben…
So many invasive species, do not release your aquarium fish, never!!!

@@hanspetterroverud1028 i wonder if over time they will breed towards cold resistance?
@@grill6411 It would be pretty cool to have a hardier cold-water tolerant guppy. Would make low tech tanks a breeze where I live

where a plant?
temp in F in Germany? No like, no sub!
Eher schade, dass dort neue Arten auftauchen...
I think someone stole your video
Do you have a link for me?
@@PlantedTank no but I’ll look for it
@@PlantedTank also links in shorts comments don’t work so you will have to paste it into google or yt
