I enjoy these vids. I would end up like a prune cos i would spend too much time oggling the wildlife. Fish are great. So are those plants in there. Do you know what they are?



Also what are these?

Not sure what Nymphaea species they are in the video. They could be any of the following: Nymphaea amazonum, Nymphaea ampla, Nymphaea jamesoniana, Nymphaea lasiophylla, Nymphaea lingulata, Nymphaea pulchella, or Nymphaea rudgeana.

Fish! Seriously, it says in the description 'Acestrorhynchus' which means "needle jaw" ...not one for the average home aquaria.

@FishBubs, I've done some digging and found a likely candidate. These might be Acestrorhynchus falcirostris juveniles and this family of fish collectively are known by some as 'the freshwater Barracuda'

To me they are almost Pike like in appearance and apparently they do ambush their prey like a Pike. This species, the adults are around 13 inches in length and would quite a substantial size aquarium to house them.
