The apisto species you found looks like Apistogramma alacrina, but this species occurs in several geographical locations with variations in colour patterns. The unusual black pigmentation on the lower operculum is quite distinct from other known populations, and may be that this population is another variant of A. alacrina. Very well spotted, Chris.
Yes, it seems like that species..also Ivan Mikolji was there and also said it was this species....i should have tried more for the males b ut back then i was not focused on the fish ;-(
Filipe Oliveira has a video on why plants can turn read and has a wonderful explanation of why that plant is red! Thanks for sharing Chris, beautiful and unique.
i had a conversation with a real plant specialist from Dennerle..my friend Stefan Hummel, the plantahunter..he told me that. Let me find out more about that.
Mie mi-ar face plăcere să mergeți în cât mai multe locuri din lume și să arătați că apele nu sunt atât de poluate cum se exagerează la maxim pe tema schimbărilor climatice și a poluării. Câteodată soarele ar arăta că există ceva cu scutul de protecție al pământului, dar nu știu ce este .
The correlation with red color and sunlight is also true in other plants. I was involved in research with red/purple lettuce and pak-choi cultivars in the past and the same thing happened: the plants exposed to a higher daily light integral had more red coloration, the ones with less light had less. It wasn't even due to UV-light only, even the ones we had under 100% artificial light without UV behaved the same. For my cultivars back then it was due to a higher concentration of anthocyanins which can show in colors from purple to red, depending on the tissue-pH and the respective form of anthocyanins. There are other red(ish) pigments, too, like carotenoids for example. I wonder what that plant has.... Interestingly the reason for the red pigmentation is still somewhat debated in botanical research, one of the most common ideas is that it's a protection from sunlight. Anthocyanins are strong antioxidants, so they might help capture free radicals in the tissue that are caused by UV and generally strong light. But at the same time, there are potatoes and apples that produce red / purple flesh in the inside - which wouldn't really make sense as a light protection mechanism. It would be amazing to know the mechanism at that particular plant, maybe it ties back to cultivation and gives a hint on how to keep it in an artificial setting.... Really interesting video and great great Wort, I absolutely love it. thanks for bringing us along on your journeys....
La nature est fascinante ! Ce lieu semble créé par les "petits êtres magique de Colombie". Cette petite chose rose et duveteuse est pourtant l'impératrice de lieu d'existence ! J'espère qu'il n'y a aucun minerais dans ce bassin et qu'il restera tel quel ! Merci de donner un peu de contexte social à tes vidéos. Serait-il possible dans le futur de préciser le nom de la flore et de la faune par écrit pour pouvoir effectuer des recherches de mon côté ?
at 10:00 that current doesnt seem fast and the plant seems to be doing well there... did you happen to test the water parameters? maby the plant didnt grow for you due to too much of a difference? they probably told you there where no fish to try to protect the fish that where there also. if you ever do go back, first you should make a river aquarium and try to return with 5-10 of those plants.
i think that it had nothing to do with protection...i think that the place is not well explored. I mentioned the Farf..that kept people away. Yes, i have the water parameters somewhere..but you are right i should have posted them. Also you can see that where the Aequidens are the plant start to disappear..the river gets bigger and not flowing that fast anymore.
ooh i'd love to know how to grow Macarenia clavigera and other podostemaceae like Mourera fluviatilis - and also (Dicraea warmingii - the only known food source for the tadpoles of the world's largest frog (conraua goliath). In fact there are no photos of this plant or anything about it).
some dont get red ..maybe a bit orangeish..but another good question here. I will check why not all plants get red when exposed to intensive light. Just look at the video from Mauricius...there you have a red plant in the habitat and a green...same light intensity
The colour you see is the light that is reflected. Red plants are common so it could be that a pigment used to reflect red light occurred first evolutionarily
I hope that river is protected from people's mess forever!
That place look surreal and magical at the same time ✨️ ❤️🌿🐠
Primera vez que veo algo sobre este río. Es impresionante y parece de otro mundo. Excelente video
Amazing place! Since you didn't focus on the fish, now you have a reason to go back some day.
yes, that is exactly what i was thinking about..a good excuse to go back ;-)
It's at the end. 😂
Beautiful! I love the footage from the cichlids moving the leave and from the apistos🙂

Wow Chris you've done it again. Brilliant video, you are my number one U tuber, thanks for sharing.
Always a pleasure to watch your wonderful videos my friend!!!
beautiful and unique looking plant
Very Beautiful! Thank you for sharing Chris 🙂
🙏
What a wonderful and beautiful place. Thanks so much for sharing all the videos.
This is absolutely my number one on my bucket to visit!!! Holy guacamole!!!! The way you capture nature is truly inspiring!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
thanx Erik💚
Great footage and narrative! Thanks for sharing.
you are welcome
excellent video as always. Thanks for sharing!
How u are videographying this ? Mobile with water protector ???
Great Job Chris 😃 I'm looking forward to see another video with your adventures. What do you use to record videos underwater?
Filipe Oliveira has a video on why plants can turn read and has a wonderful explanation of why that plant is red!
Thanks for sharing Chris, beautiful and unique.
oh,...i did not know that . Will check.
Yes, I always love your content, love the nature of Columbia and South America in general.
I enjoy this so much! Amazing content, best wishes to you and your future projects! 🌻
The 10:00 fish looks like astyanax, its called mojarra here in Argentina, Awesome chanel bro
Amazing footage - thanks.
Amazing reportage ❤.
lol I loved this video so much, neat plant. Thank you for sharing.
That apistogramma was really pretty. What a nice spot! Hopefully the locals won't ruin it
Did you mention the name of the plant? Such a wonderful place.
Rhyncholacis clavigera
This was incredible.
when i left the place i thought the same ;-)
where the heck can i find that plant???
I could be wrong, but I think the fish are Astyanax. Really like this kind of video's. Thanks for sharing.
yes,thats what i tought...
Beautiful place. They should organize trips to places like this
no they shouldn't :D
woe...you are getting around...last week Mauritius now in the middle of Colombia ? Did you find dart frogs?
This video was filmed quite a few yers ago. Maybe more than 10...
That orchid looked amazing (I'm guessing the pink flower was an orchid)
3:45 that's some equator sun for you😆
😂
Thank you for sharing!
What is the name of that killifish?
Rivulus teaniatus
Great video very informative wonderful place indeed
When I see that plant it gives me the feeling that maybe it has a bladderwort kind of property. I wonder if it is carnivorous???
You need to go back one day and get more footage of the fish and everything else.
A high tech river!
🤔 Now I’m wondering why do some plants require (faster) flowing water?
i had a conversation with a real plant specialist from Dennerle..my friend Stefan Hummel, the plantahunter..he told me that. Let me find out more about that.

i tried and i failed ;-( ...but thanx for your info..i did not know that.about the largest frog
@@chrislukhaup :)
Wow
I wonder if the water is acidic or not
So, it grows on the rocks only? Special roots.
it grows in places where it can really hold on to the ground. Sometimes on wood as well as you can see in the Video
doesnt nearly every plant's color come from the intensity of the light it gets?
some dont get red ..maybe a bit orangeish..but another good question here. I will check why not all plants get red when exposed to intensive light. Just look at the video from Mauricius...there you have a red plant in the habitat and a green...same light intensity

Chris come to srilanka
Unique
4:00 Could someone spell the genus name?
Rhyncholacis clavigera
@@chrislukhaup Thanks
Secret places should not be shown to everyone. Over tourism will destroy it and this videos play a roll, too.
in this case its not possible to keep it secret we need to hope on the local gov. to have the tourist taking care ...
Send us a stem please😢
not so great as Fuddruckers
