Fish in their Natural Habitats

I like my aquariums to replicate the natural homes of fish as much as possible. There is no better way to get an idea of the streams and rivers our tropical fish come from than to visit those streams. But for those of us like myself that don't have the money to do something like that, we can use videos as an alternative. Freshwater enthusiast and Venezuelan native Ivan Mikolji makes those journeys for us and shows us the wonderful natural aquariums that are home to our beautiful aquarium fish.

Amazon: Secrets of the Golden River

A great deal of common freshwater fish in the hobby come from the Amazon River Basin, and with good reason as it's the second largest freshwater river system in the world. Angelfish, discus, and many species of cories and tetra are all only found in the Amazon. Due to the wide variety of species Amazon biotopes are very common. This documentary includes footage of many of these and other Amazon fishes in the wild.

I do not own or claim to own this video.
