Imagine just spending the whole day exploring in that river 😉
Suriname is where i got hooked on fish when i was a lil boy.
Very cool! Has anyone done a necropsy to examine the digestive contents of wild specimens? I'm fascinated by that information with mid sized fish. Thank you for sharing
Yes, there is some work done with isotopes and with gut content of various cichlids in other habitats.
@belowwater do you happen to know which university, collection areas or fish are being studied this way by chance?
I've been very curious and doing research on the gut flora and fauna of fish... everything from yeast, archaea, bacteria, to auwfuchs, biofilms and the things we traditionally think of as " food ".
It is amazing how often parasites, or symbiotic species are found in wild fish and yet in captivity we clean out their gut biome and feed supposed super foods, only to find the fish are malnourished or ill.
I'm always curious with algae eaters or sand sifters, what it is they target vs what is ingested due to proximity with the desired prey on the menu... micro crustaceans and algae are often both found but in new tests on plecos, they found that they did not eat uncycled/sterilized algae... but readily ate "cycled" algae... and skipped algae all together if the crustaceans were separated out as well.
@@Fishtory if you search by diet or isotope analysis you should find plenty of papers - there are of course tons of studies on the big food fish such as salmonids, and tropical aquaculture species but there are also some on reef fishes, Amazonian species and Lake Malawi fish. In the case of these sand sifters, they ingest a lot of the bacterial mass that holds debris together on top of the substrate, i think there are some nutritional studies done on that as well.
@belowwater thank you Dr.
Wonderful images! Very interesting. Thanks for sharing from France 🙂
Merci!
Another captivating video!!! Thank-you!!! I smiled the whole way through, while thinking 'WOW!' through each new school of fish to pass in front of the camera. I am so very glad that you share this underwater part of your life with us!!!
thank you!
Awesome thanks for sharing
Wonderful footage and commentary Oliver :)
Many thanks!
What a amazing video thanks for sharing
Thanks for visiting
Your videos are so informative and beautiful to watch. You're doing a great educational work, I appreciate it as a fish keeper. I truly hope we can preserve all these ecosystems.
thank you. this is one of the most remote places i have seen, I think it is reasonably safe, unlike northern Suriname that is under huge pressure from logging, mining and industrial agriculture.
Very cool. I had some Suriname Red Spot Cichlid (Guianacara sphenozona 'red spot') and still regret having to rehome them. I love your educational videos. Thanks
yes, they are really fun and not so big.
OH OH OH 10/10 I have some
Good job!
was es noch so alles an tollen fische in der natur gibt, die man in einer zoohandlung so nie sieht...😉👍👍👍
ja, leider - in Nordamerika wird das Sortiment auch immer geringer.
@@belowwater danke für deine antwort...😉
Wonderful! These fish are so cute and nice to watch
yes, they have all the fun quality of ramirezi except the colour!
Amazing and inspiring video! Thank you Oliver!
thank you!
🌴Another Awesome and Enjoyable video, Thanks!!! 🌴
Its so sad all the destruction and fires going on all through South America....😪😪😪
wow awesome, more
Thank you, I will
very interesting, thanks!
Your content is amazing!!!
Thank you so much!!
Awesome 👌🏿 👏🏾 👍🏿
Thanks
Amazing
Very interesting
Thanks for sharing this video I’m a local Fish keeper from Suriname 🇸🇷
Thanks for watching!
Great video including a geophagus that was new to me.
it's one of my favourite Geos, but also big, and i think the most difficult to keep.
I absolutely love your videos.
Thank you so much!
Fantastic video, could you tell me the name of the plant on the rocks please I can’t quite make out the name. Tia
My LFS had just given me some bandit cichlid fry and I was looking around your videos for footage of them in the wild. Mine do look slightly different though (no black on middle dorsal for example), I was wondering if it's a different collection point or breeding that causes this. Timing couldn't have been better and fantastic video as always!
There are 7 _Guianacara_ species across Venezuela-Guyana-Suriname-French Guyana, plus undescribed ones in the Tapanahony in Suriname, and in the Rio Jatapu, Brazil.
👍🏻👍🏻
Stunning video 😍🙏 what was the tiger looking fish @7:08? Leporinus?
thank you, yes, the real _Leporinus maculatus_ - that name gets used a lot, but this is the actual one
Great video as always. The Suriname nature is breathtaking and let’s hope the gold miners and oil companies stay away from this region in the south. The destruction is so depressing. Your videos are wonderful though.
thank you!
