Found this because I subscribe to his channel. Voiceover chosen isn't as smooth as you'd expect but it does offer a rare look on many aquarium favorites in the wild. It should give some understand of behaviour and tank needs.

Glad you liked it. Perhaps this makes a bit clearer why I tend to recommend providing cover in a lot of tanks, preferably in the form of real plants

I search for shows and videos like this and have seen several. I like to see what sorts of environments my fish come from so I can recreate it as best I can in my aquariums. I was surprised to hear him say the moenkhausia pittieri and pterophyllum altums have almost disappeared from their natural habitats. Thanks for sharing this, it was very interesting.

I'm not so sure it is a good idea to have that around. There are a lot of markings on it and it was selling for around $60. I think it was posted up in a not so kosher way. It's neat and all but I fear it is not supposed to be common property on the internet and fear there could be some sort of action taken on it being displayed. Sorry to be kill joy.

I believe the channel owner is also the creator of the videos.

Nice video. I see nearly all my favorites are not from heavily planted tanks but amazon with just lots of wood, branches and leaves. Surprised we didn't see any rainbow fish.

Must be why I didn't see any. LOLOLOL thumbs2:

I couldn't tell where that was being filmed. I know rainbows are an import from Australia, New Guinea and other Islands.
