A trip into the interior of Mato Grosso do Sul state in Brazil with fellow aquarist Renan S. A. Ogiwara revealed the delights of this small stream, flowing under a ...highway and full of fascinating fish and plants.
We arrived early in the morning but found a large family by the river, busily washing their clothes with detergent. Poverty where amenities like washing machines are lacking can have a direct effect on nature: an aquatic habitat becomes filled with soap and chemicals. We returned late in the afternoon and explored upstream (away from the wash-site).
The stream runs through an area of low savannah habitat and combines fauna and flora of the upland Bodoquena plateau and the lowland Pantanal basin, creating a wonderful interchange of species. Fish included the tiny and elegant Hyphessobrycon elachys, popular in the aquarium trade, Leporinus fasciatus and the striking Leporinus striatus, the frenetic Parodon nasus, brilliant Jupiaba acanthogaster, Moenkhausia oligolepis and Moenkhausia forestii, cousins of M. sanctofilomenae, known to aquarist around the world and the cryptic Hypostomus cochliodon, wedged in crevices in the rocks as well as large numbers of tiny glittering Hemigrammus tridens, hidden in marginal vegetation and gullies.
Above and below water we found Eleocharis vivipara and E. acicularis along with Pontederia parviflora. Eriocaulons and carnivorous Utricularia sat beneath the giant leaves of Echindorus grandiflorus along the banks. In shallow areas, the stunning carpeting waterlily, Nymphaea gardneriana splashed red and oranges through the greens of Bacopa myriophylloides and ruddy red Ludwigia peruviana.
Such a habitat shows the incredible diversity and richness of the Neoptropics; a single, small, unassuming stream here contains more species of fish and aquatic plants than are found in entire countries in Europe. And the entire stream is at risk because one family doesn’t have access to a washing machine.[+] Show More

Découvrez la faune aquatique d'un ruisseau de la Mata Atlantica, une des forêts les plus menacées de la planète restée dans l'ombre de l'Amazonie, dans cette vidéo immersive 🌳🌿
En 2018, ...notre équipe a eu le privilège de parcourir la côte Sud-Est du Brésil, révélant un trésor de biodiversité souvent négligé. Cette forêt tropicale abrite une large variété d'écosystèmes qui ont favorisé la diversité incroyable des espèces de poissons.
Pendant des années, cette région est restée largement méconnue, avec des études limitées principalement au domaine scientifique. Un livre paru en 2007 répertoriait environ 300 espèces, dont 267 uniques à la Mata Atlantica. Lors de notre premier voyage, nous avons exploré la réserve naturelle "Legado das Aguas" où un biologiste passionné nous a guidés à travers une forêt préservée de l'influence humaine.
Observez les poissons sauvages évoluer dans leur environnement naturel. 🌎🐟

Exploring a creek within the Taquari river basin in the north of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, which is home to the famous Black Neon Tetra, Hyphessobrycon ...herbertaxelrodi.
The habitat has been degraded thanks to the dumping of rubbish and construction materials after a bridge was rebuilt over the creek. The habitat is also surrounded by encroaching cattle ranches and soy farms, which contribute to the destruction of waterways through nutrient inflow, agrotoxins, the trampling of riverbanks, sedimentation and water extraction and diversion.
Thanks to recent rains, the water was at times cloudy, but still an an amazing place to be.
