AMENDNENTS OR CORRECTIONS: I have been informed by a helpful viewer, that the collection video with the glass fish and danio species found in myanmar, may actually be Tamilnadu in India... I'll let you know if I can find more info, but the fish and habitat are still very similar or identical regardless. Thanks! -Alex
Hey, that's my country. Been to that lake many times. Thanks for covering it!
Im so jealous hehe
My pleasure! Its my dream to visit some day
@@Fishtory I can bring you there if you ever visit Myanmar around festive holidays. My brother in law is also an aquarium plant hobbyist. He would go there once in awhile to collect aquatic plants and small fishes there.
Just found your channel not long ago and binge watching your videos.
Thanks for the knowledge.
Was nice to learn more about this lake from my country. Thanks for mentioning a bit about the civil war and stuff, too.
100% I'm fascinated by it...and I want to visit more than anything!
Great walkthrough. Both fishy and social. 👍
Thanks! I hope people can enjoy their fishy friend just a little more when you know their stories as a species.
Great information on this biotope
Thanks! I worked a long time on this one :)
Extremely beautiful wild aquariums.
Thank you very much
Your so nerdy I love it! Saludos desde Costa Rica :)
Gracias mi amigo!
👍 Because I couldn't add another for the second view.
Very good video. Glad you added about the people. I only knew of the civil war. Shamefully knew more about their tiny fish than their ways of living.
It's hard to keep track of...honestly, they have been in and out of conflict for 60 years, and the hill tribes, are safe from major battles due to the fact they constantly are fighting to keep their region autonomous.
The other thing I'd emplore folks to look into is the plight of the Muslim Minority living on the Irrawaddy River on the border to the west of this region and over the last 10 years, over 10,000 people including women and children, have been r@p3d and or killed by Buddhist and Hindu nationalists extremists. The name of the people I'd suggest you Google and learn about it "The Rohingya ".
Very interesting area. I wonder who first thought, "I bet I can make a garden on the water."
I think it was refugees, pre irrigation (so the oral tradition locally goes.) A city was attacked and about 5,000 people fled from modern Mandalay when the local Warlord who was Hindi, pushed out the Buddhist minority of the time 2,000 years ago...and the valley was remote enough that it gave them safety. But lake Titicaca is ssssuper similar in story and culture
Fantastic deep dive Alex! I always enjoy the anthropological, historical, and cultural elements you put into your episodes. I wish more TH-camrs would give the whole picture as you do. I'm an old school, nerdy Genxer and I feel its so important to understand the environments our beloved pets originated from whether they have gills, scales, feathers, or fur. 😊
Thanks! I also feel it adds more to the hobby...to know how the fish were used or seen by native peoples, what their ecology looks like, and what curious turns of evolution occurred to create such amazing creatures. I also am an archeologist by training, and also history and anthropology BA so honestly, I love talking about how humans and nature interact over time
Thanks for this. I always find your videos so interesting. I'm never disappointed. 🥰
That means a whole lot to me. Thank you kindly for tuning in and dropping a line!
I love these deep dives. It's always so interesting to me how the natives live and what the lakes actually look like.
I had no idea they were in a civil war, or how long they've been pushed into other people's conflicts.
Many of my favorite fish come from this area. It was really interesting to me that all the fish have red and yellow on them, and how clear the lake is.
👍❤👍
Yeah I can't get a scientific answer as to why either! But this is my all time favorite biotpe for its size (1: 15,000th the size of the Amazon lol)
Hi Alex, I enjoyed your deep dive into the ichthyology, geography and cultures of Lake Inle. Thumbs up for more content such as this. Many Thanks, Dan
Right on! Thanks for commenting and tuning in! I hope to do a few more very spefic biotopes like flooded forests of the Orinoco River, the Pantanal, the Volta or Congo River (Black waters) .Papua new guinea, the northern marshes of Australia and Madagascar amongst the possibilities. Have a wonderful finish to your week, cheers!
I don’t comment much, or even “like” a lot of videos. I feel like this was an exceptional, enjoyable deep dive and I gave you a thumbs up. Cool video, I hope you are able to do more like this in the future!
As an aside, I found CPDs in 2016 and have had a 20L in the bedroom dedicated to them since. They live with a bunch of RCS and are beautiful fish, even though they are pretty skittish.
Right on! Sounds like a nice set up. I love all the nano fish of that region... so cool looking (mini trout or something almost). Thanks for commenting also, it means a lot to read comments like this one!
I try and do deep dives on all my non-livestream videos...so you may enjoy others out of the 900 videos I've made..(I'd Check out the channel's playlists for a list with the deep dives (only recently did I start labeling them as such). But I'm definitely doing more locations in the near future. So stay tuned and have a great week!
Cheers, Alex.
I'm gonna try breeding my group of Devario (or Inlecypres) auropurpureus next summer. I bought them in a shop in belgium as Inlecypres Auropurpureus a year ago and they are doing very well....They are soooo beautiful... Is this still an endangered specie ? I thougt I could keep them unheated, but you mention the lake is 26 °C almost al year round... I keep them at 20 °C without any problem. ... but Alex man, you are really something else with your knowledge. Respect !
You can keep them at 20 or 22...but they spawn 26 to 28 or so. And yes, still endangered. Best of luck, theyre fun.
@@Fishtory : i only hope they don't breed only in the first year(s) of their life.. .I think they are already 2 years old (i bought them full grown so difficult too say exactly)... We'll see.
Fantastic watch! I've traveled through Thailand a few times and love it there, hope to make it to Myanmar someday.
Yeah me too! Thailand has opened up the last 40 years, and the last 15 the North west is far more accessible also, but I'd love to travel from chang Mai to Inle/Mandalay someday! 90% of my favorite fish are in those mountains and remote streams/valleys
Interesting stuff
Thanks dood
Awesome I breed Plakat in Thailand but you inspire me to look closer to other nano species.
Oh right on! Yeah Western Thailand is full of amazing species!
@@Fishtory Do you have one in mind that could be interesting to breed? With a chance of developing a new color or something? ;)
Hooray!
Wooot!
Oh yeaaah! You Found the bolts haha righteous
Wow, well researched informative video, a real pleasure to see this tonight. Easy to understand why it's your favorite biotope. I have a tank of those auropurpureus but didn't know a thing about them now I do thanks. Found them in local aquarium shop here in Chiangmai where I live. They are reproducing without any effort on my part, always active and beautiful. The lake isn't that far from me actually and would consider a visit if travel wasn't the way it is currently. Maybe hopefully in the future and not too distant. Lots of Shan people live here in the Chiangmai area, hard working, honest, attractive, fiercely independent and just want to keep their identity and ancestral homeland. Anyway, love the video, thanks.
Right on! Thanks for sharing your experiences, I'm so glad you liked the video! You have some incredible fish in the Thai border lands... that Shan region and border, likley has some of the relatives, if not same fish as Inle, but ichthyologists haven't scientifically documented the mountains very well! Have a great weekend
Very interesting and comprehensive. Always enjoy learning new things from you. Ty.
Glad to hear it. Thanks for tuning in and dropping a line
Great video and tank you have set up I wish I could scape half as well as you that's awesome
Hehe thank you for your kind words...it's just lots of years of lots of tanks and looking at nature. It's nothing too amazing...no real special skills required. I'm sure almost anyone could do something similar by watching the aquascape/ hardscape video I made on it.
Hi Alex great vid really interesting just wondering if you know of any badis or Dario species from here? Feels like the right place to find them and would love one in my hard water tanks. Do you know any other regions that have unusually hard water like this too?
Totally. A lot of loas and Vietnam is limestone and ends up fairly hard or at least alkaline. Most the loaches and barbs don't mind it. A
As for badis there are several species about 40 miles west of Lake inle...the Chameleon badis and blue badis... then the myanmar or Malay badis (higginsoni?) Is found to the South East and in acidic but harder waters
@@Fishtory Thats awesome thanks so much!
@Alex, another great information video mate keep em coming. Great biotope to which you've created. When's your next livestream due out? I've an aquarium dilemma to ask you, regarding my substrate...
It's Friday at 430 LA Time zone 730 NYC time. Cheers
Great episode Alex.
Thanks buddy! I appreciate it
Love your videos
Thank you so much! Have a great week
Awesome video. Whatever happened to kissing Gouramis? I had some as a kid.
Those are found from Thailand, Vietnam, Laos , China and all the eah to the Korean peninsula actually! Both a tropical and a temperate fish species... also known as the paradise fish
So Lake inlay by definition would be a pond, right ? with no way for fish to swim in and out freely as I understand it. 😕
So now fish can make it south in the wet season to the big resivore to the south and the boat canals...but naturally it's an "Endorheic" lake
Hey Alex, what do you use to treat sunken belly in chili rasboras?
I use levamisol low Dosing levels and usually a gram negative antibiotic..antibiotics... then tannins and black water for them to recover in ...with little scuds, triclops, and daphnia for food ideally (or baby brine)
@@Fishtory and I have one chili rasbora that looks like it has dropsy. What should i do
Do glolight danio school well like rummynose?
What kind of rock you have in 9:47 and 9:50 ?
So that's called "Oso Jade" it's a very low grade jade/jadeite from the Cascade mountains that I go collect from an old quarry
20:45 what is the fish on the bottom left of chart please ? anybody .
It's is the Parambassis ranga or glass perchlet aka glass perch... lake inle is said to be the origin of the red ones though (red yellow and clear)
@@Fishtory thank you Alexander .
Also the video is actually from India. It's from tamilnadu in south indi
Oh really?! They have all the same fish as inle, they must be introduced then? Because it Included both the endemic glass fish and the pan S.E. Asian glass fish they call a "tetra" in the video Parambassis ranga. And the Lala or red /orange glass fish. Is this someone else's video? Thanks
@@Fishtory the glassfin is called the Indian hifin perchet. And the gourami is not the thick lipped one. It's the dwarf gourami
@@animegod1714 latin names please. Common names don't really help me figure out which fish it is. The dwarf gourami is like 4 different fish in the USA market and different fish in each other country. The Inle gourami is also a "dwarf" like the "powder blue dwarf" but it's called "inle red dwarf" or "dwarf sunset gourami" (they're silver at the north end of the lake in Inle...blue and red in the center and then in the south they're dark red and orange with light blue skinny lines mostly. Trichogaster labiosa specifically in inle the red only occurs in inle, but the fish is also found outside the lake in India to Vietnam and down to malaysia
How to: poach Ffs
I doubt there are any laws regarding the non endangered fish... that region is ruled by tribal elder councils with AK47s ... the USA hasn't seen anything wild out of inle in quite some time thankfully.
Picked up a group of Sawbwa resplendens. Too small to sex yet.
The red tail loaches are growing out nicely. Think I’ll try breeding them again in an outdoor tub.
Right on! All the inle species can handle water 60- 70 no problem , which is handy
