    Have you ever wondered what your freshwater tropical fish’s homes look like in the wild and how they all interact in their natural habitat? Where do the tropical fish in your aquarium come from?
    Legendary filmmaker Ivan Mikolji takes you on an underwater journey to secret locations in tropical jungles exploring 33 rivers and 7 different habitats.
    Swim with the author and discover the unknown secrets of the world’s natural aquariums… the rivers.
    Get valuable ideas on how to decorate and convert your tank into a natural aquarium.

    My 12 year old son and I have recently started keeping fresh water fish and the information in this documentary really helps us understand what the natural habitat of some of these fishes are really like. Hopefully we can recreate them successfully in our aquariums. Thank you very much for creating and posting this documentary.

    It feels like a very special privilege to have this intimate look at the natural home of these beautiful creatures, that we so often take for granted. It's hard to pick a favourite scene but it would likely be the footage of parent fish with their broods.

    Your documentaries rock. I wish I was rich enough to send you money for this. I'm not. But you deserve to be supported if there is any economic want in your life. You are creating an education tool of the highest quality in your work, much higher quality than most any others I've seen in any language. You inspire biophilia, which is among the most necessary things to do in these very precarious times.

    Not to be too much the pessimist, but the footage you have recorded may well represent THE LAST remaining intact, pristine freshwater ecosystem examples on the planet. That being noted, you and your production staff are truly pioneers in the freshwater aquatic world. Thanks for all you have contributed.

      @TheFinnMovies 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Jake Scot this is indeed true and truly sad. I never see any big conservation “companies” say anything about it. Only the Aquarium Industry talks about it, and even that is minimal. I really hope we can atleast save some of them because our aquariums aren’t the most stable too.

    It's beautiful to see the fish swimming in their natural habitat. The sounds of nature, of tribal singing and well-paced, easy-going voice over made it both super informative and serene to listen to. Great camera work - vantage points and captivating perspectives: both day and night, throughout the behaviour shifting seasons... thank you!
