Definitely more pictures. And I don't think you have to worry about your English for two reasons:
1. It's 100 times better than my Portuguese/Brazilian (I couldn't even say "Hello!", never mind discuss fish I'd caught in a river).
2. Your pictures speak more than your words!

Yes, I'd like to know what that is too [I think that is what Matt is asking!] - Hoplosternum littorale?

Wonderful, wonderful photos. I have never come across water that clear in either the Orinoco or Amazon basins. Just amazing.

In this picture:

Is that eroded limestone?

EDIT: You wouldn't happen to know the pH of the water?

Oh this thread is WAY too short! I love those pictures and would be quite happy scrolling through a dozen more pages! What a fantastic pictorial diary of your trips! Please, add more! We love to hear the additional information about the collection sites, also, but it's hard to beat shiny pictures :lol:!

Hmm...difficult to tell I. I have seen a very similar picture to the one in the right bottom corner somewhere but can't remember where. Corydora snegro comes to mind, but I am not shure they are together with pantanalensis in the wild.
