- Footage shows the habitat of the clear water karst stream of the Rio Sucuri, in the Bodoquena highlands of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The first few km of the river are clear, having emerged from its source spring nearby and has not yet had time to become turbid from detritus and sediment. The clear waters permit plenty of sunlight penetration which in turn leads to dense aquatic vegetation.
Plant species found here include:
Acrosticum danaeifolium
Bacopa australis
Chara rusbyana
Echinodorus cordifolius
Echinodorus grandiflorus
Echinodorus macrophyllus
Gomphrena elegans
Helanthium bolivianum (used to be known as Echinodorus bolivianus)
Hydrocotyle verticillata (described in literature concerning this river as H. leucocephala but I'm sure that it's H. verticillata)
Ludwigia peruviana
Myriophyllum aquaticum
Nymphaea jamesoniana
Nymphaea gardneriana Planch
Potamogeton illinoensis
Polygonum acuminatum
Polygonum hydropiperoides
Pontederia parviflora

These fresh water habitats are incredible. The diversity of flora and fauna is spectacular.
The coloration of those serpae tetras is just stunning!
the beauty of the natural
Beautiful shots, beautiful underwater world. We need to remember and record this because the world tends to self-destruct and droughts show us a desert and not life. I greet you and invite you to my place.
Like you were filming in a giant aquarium! Absolutely stunning!
Thank you Lisa!
The amount of gas exchange is phenomenal. The plants are sometimes bubbling like small air stones!
its incredible how clear the water is in these...
Beautiful nature water world! Amazingly peaceful! That is a silent beauty under water. Thant you for sharing your footage video!
Phenomenal footage! Sharing with all my friends.
crystal clear...... ❤️❤️❤️
Total bliss there, I liked the parts where there were underwater springs and the sand was like lava.
It''s Wonderful... And we learn how should look a natural tank....... Because that's all about..... If a tank îs not even close to something like that it's looks fake.....
Wonderful Video .thank you from Rhineland Germany .
fascinating red fish. thanks for sharing. I've snorkeled the Caribbean, but the best experience was snorkeling a stream near the Ozarks in Arkansas, USA. This Brazilian habit is so much nicer.
absolutely stunning!
warms my heart to feel submerged within this absolute luminous world. 🌱💓🌱
thank you.
Just want you to know that I drop whatever I'm doing to watch your videos 👍👍😁👌
Hey, thank you so much! That makes me very happy! I am doing a trip next week so I hope to have some more material for you at some point, possibly from the original habitat of the Black Neon tetra :)
The water is so clear at times it looks like the fish are swimming through air.
This is breathtaking.
Congratulations on this being a part of your life 🙂
Thank you! I know I'm very lucky I can explore these places :)
So beautiful natural
love these films, inspires me so much when aquascapeing, thankyou!
Hey Ollie, thank you, it really makes my day to know people enjoy these and that they are useful and inspiring!
Oh yeah me too
I watch people doing aquascapes and that's nice but nothing compares to this, amazing, thanks a lot for this. These videos could be longer and I wouldn't even notice
What a footage! The endless waves of Myriophyllum and its color with combination of crystal clear blue water is just amazing. And that is only a part of this video. This is a real inspiration. It has to be wonderful feeling to immerse into that world. Thank you for sharing it with us.
thank you for your very kind words :D
Muy buenos los biotopos y sistemas de agua dulce....en Argentina estan los Esteros del Ibera...muy conocidos por su fauna acuuatica y pureza de sus aguas....seria genial un video de esos sistemas acuaticos.....saludos desde Tierras Altas Buenos Aires Argentina 👍🙏
Nature is perfect 😍.
Most beautiful 🎉
NICE
Que hermosura de paisajes bajo estás aguas tanta variedad de peces que bonito se ría tener un acuario así gracias por traernos está bellezas saludos desde Colombia
like in every aquarium ... EVERYWHERE MOSS :-)
Oh my... Look at that! Absolutely gorgeous! Way more beautiful than any aquarium crafted by human I've even seen, period
I almost feel bad keeping them in aquariums. They're all so beautiful in the wild. You are doing something wonderful by putting in the work to bring this to us.. Your audience..I have subscribed..I can't stop watching..Thank you..
To be fair, most of the fish we have now have been bred in captivity over multiple generations, while they still retain their natural instincts, they likely won't care about where they live and more about how'd they live.
Amazing, thank you.
Amazing 😊
Thanks. Else I will never had a chance to see these.
Absolutely stunning. I love that you added all the flora and fauna in the description. I'm sure a bit of googling would give the water parameters but that would have been a nice inclusion giving the wonderful work you have already done.
I find the music a perfect make to the strong but relaxing nature of this river.
Thanks Liam! The only issue is that I didn't have kit to measure parameters there and the one I can request from my university out there costs about 20000 USD...so they don't let me borrow it very often! However, in another river I monitored nearby, the water is about ph 7.3, temp about 25/26C.
@@biotopia5319 haha can't imagine why they don't let you borrow it more 😅
Ah those are helpful. Harder water than expected and I wonder if this could be a contributing factor for the Hyphessobrycon Eques looking as red as they are in this system as well as the lower water temperature.
great work
Very nice footage!
I love your channel so much!! Thank you!!!!❤❤❤
Thank you very much for your support🤗
Wonderful thank you
Amazing!
Amazing thank you for sharing!
Marvelous. Thanks
A Wonderful aquaworld..
Beautiful !
Really stupendous.
Wonderfull! Congratulations!
Great video. Amazing!!!
Thanks Rick!
Neat video
That's absolutely amazing
Thank you!
Mesmerising!
wonderful videos, brightens my day
Thank you Marko!
Wunderschön ❤️ ich liebe es ♥️
dam even the algae looks good. natural spring ftw
Спасибо за видео и за подробное описание рыб и водных растений! Всё на высшем уровне! Молодец! Так держать!!!
Большое спасибо и извините за плохой русский язык, мне нужно использовать гугл переводчик! :)
@@biotopia5319 вы хорошо по-русски печатаете. Я когда по-английски делаю комментарии, то тоже использую переводчик в интернете. Он нормально переводит русские предложения на английский и наоборот. А вот переводы с других языков получаются у него часто очень корявыми. Ещё раз вам спасибо за отличные видео! Делайте всегда подробные описания!
@@biotopia5319 я сам из России и знаю только русский язык. А Вы на каком языке говорите?
@@user-rk5mt7iq8n Я англичанин, но могу говорить на португальском, голландском и немного испанском :)
Я проконсультировалась с Кристель Кассельманн, экспертом по водным растениям, и она объяснила, что это Echinodorus macrophyllus, потому что они мужские. Первоначально растение было описано как Alisma macrophyllum, потому что пол Alisma нейтрум.
Но когда вы перемещаете вид в другой род, вы должны изменить окончание имени «um» на «us».
Она сказала, что то же самое и с Echinodorus floribundus, который сначала был описан как Alisma floribundum, или Echinodorus grandiflorus, который впервые был описан как Alisma grandiflorum.
Из-за первоначального описания 'Alisma' есть путаница с текущими названиями, но это E. macrophyllus :)
Great video I do my tanks natural and my fish act very different
Lindo demais
Obrigado!
Paradise 😮
wow.
Salah 1 contoh manusia pecinta Alam selalu menjaga kelestarian nya kaya Indonesia 😊
Nature is best at aquascaping
PERFECTION!! I guess the only thing missing is the genus and species names over the picture, like in previous videos, but may be because it was so speciose with flora and fauna we wouldn't be actually able to see the video?
Amazing Tai ! Damn i wish this biotope would have some apistograma / Dicrossus or any other small chichild , it would make a perfect biotope aquarium material then . Unless you got an idea for a nice ''center piece'' fish from this biotope Tai ?
Hey! Well, the only cichlids I've seen there are Cichlasoma dimerus. But if you had a group of Characidium fasciatum (as stand-ins for C. aff. 'zebra'), they would be a nice central feature and they are wonderful characterful fish. You could also have a group of Corydoras aeneus which are also found here. :)
Awesome, just wishing these were done in 4k or 8k even :) 😀
The problem is the cost of equipment...maybe one day :)
Sometime, often, I think places like this shouldn't be shared and disclosed. the higher percentage of the population doesn't understand how delicate the system is and how even your presence there coming from an urban environment has an effect on it.
you're right, in this case though, the location is an eco-tourist destination, and they only permit 100 visitors per day, in small staggered groups, who must follow a guide closely. For me, I am able to explore more as a scientist, but most visitors are more carefully monitored :)
@@biotopia5319 💯❤️👍
❤❤❤wunderschön ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
how our rivers and streams should be
What are those things in the sand constantly moving it around like at 7:26 in the video
Матушка природа...
This is amazing footage! I would love to do this myself one day.
What is the red fosh with black spots at 19:30 ?
Its serpae tetra. They are in the aquarium hobby but man those colors are incredible.
@@TallonOver thanks so much. They are a beautiful specimen
sometimes i just want to be a little fish in a beautiful, not so large body of water
Wow! Amazing video footage. Thank you for sharing this. Please keep doing this stuff. I love it. Do you know the Name of the catfish (21:37)?
Hi and thank you very much! I know it's Ancistrus sp., but I will ask my specialist friend here and try to find out the exact species for you :)
@@biotopia5319 Thank you. That's very nice.
That is the only diversity which works.

At around 4:49 or 4:50
Were those BA tetras ? Or some other species that looks similar?
You can see the oxygen pulsating through the water. Look! It's everywhere!
Wow thats amazing! btw whats going on with the substrate at 7:29
Hi, that is water bubbling up from aquifers under ground :)
Love this! I've never heard of a karst habitat in South America? Does this mean that the water here is harder than you'd typically associate with Amazonian fish? I don't suppose you know any numbers on hardness and ph in these habitats?
Hey! I don't have hardness but ph is about 7.3, although it's a karst stream, there is so much organic material entering from the forest that it stays quite soft.
@@biotopia5319 thanks I thought I'd found a loophole for hard UK water but maybe not...
What the name of the large fish that look like Buenos Aires tetras?
Миноры такие яркие в природе...а в аквариуме еле розовые бедняги
The aquatic plants look brownish. Is it dying? Will not be surprised. Still love seeing nature making oxygen.
They are red, which is caused by the strong sunlight :)
So few cichlids, you would think they would dominate such a river
There are Cichlasoma dimerus and some Aequidens species here, but they tend to be in the margins. The Pike cichlids are the most common ones.
What fish @6:40? Wonderful video!
Hi, those are Moenkhausia bonita, the 'highland' version. Specimens from the lowlands are not so colourful. You can find a paper about their colour variations here:

:)
Please, what is the name of those "bushy" green and red tipped plants?
Hi, they are Myriophyllum aquaticum :)
veo que estan tirando burbujas de a miles supongo son burbujas de oxigeno, dé donde sacan el dióxido de carbono en estado natural? veo que la fotosintesis es increible y dudo mucho que las heces de los peces sean la fuente de dioxido, me llamo poderosamente la atencion es como un acuario plantado gigante.
Hola Cesar, es que en un ambiente tan grande como un lago o rio, el area de superificie es muy grande, y asi facilita un grande intercabio de Co2. Combinado con el sol tropical fuerte y agua transparente, nosotros vean las plantas "pearling" con frequencia. :)
@@biotopia5319 interesante, se increíble todo
what is the name of the tatra at 6;40
23:14 What is that red color thing?
God's creations are the Greatest Good 🙏🙇🏻♂️.
5:21 whats that fish
Does anyone know the name of the fish at 6:19?
The closest thing to heaven on earth.
Does anyone know the temperature, hardness and pH of that water?
I don't have hardness but ph in these habitats is about 7.3 and temp ranges from 24-26C
What are those large fish?
Salminus brasiliensis, known as "dourado". Large predatory fish. I used to catch them on a chunk of beef heart.
Surga para aquascape
美🎉
Where was the piranhas at? 😂
This is heaven for aquarium hobbists
minute19:50 namefish
Here in Brazil we call it “mato grosso”, It’s very popular in a lot of aquariums
I would rather watch this then humans.
I think that's a mark of good character!
Camera pan too fast and jerky.
One of the very few streams like it in the world. They all used to look like this till we destroyed them.
