When we catsh Arapaima,we yus a large nett.We see when thay go up for ear.Then we set the big net in a circle around it.They ar big and some time they turn the cano upside down.













Francisco,Ronny and me.

Is the Arapaima caught as food?
What sort of size/weight was the fish in these photos?
Amazing trip - am very jealous
Martin

This Arapaima was ca 1,5m and 150kg.Arapaima taste very good.I eat it every thime i visit Amazonas.Same as Arowana,or not.Arowana is more like cod(without salt)

Great pictures! Keep them coming!

brave guy or just reckless?

I would never handle a wild snake that close to my face, especially not any Anaconda species, not even small ones

they are known for their short temper and despite being non venomenous, they sure give a very nasty bite, especially when hitting a face full on.

I loved reading this thread, it is inspiring me for my collecting trip to SA that is being planned a few years out! I am going for the catfish/rare cich lids, not to mention just seeing the natural habitat to re-create to the best of my ability!

Do you have any more pictures of woodcat species?

Ancistrus sp,Corry "Peru Black" and Loricarinidae.


Apistogramma Atahualpa "orange" and Tetra sp "Peru Rainbow"






A.Biteniata,Ancistrus,Corry++

Ronny

A housboat is on its way far up on Rio Yavari.We take a smal seaearplane from Iquitos and meet it upside Carvala.Then we take it far up.

Looking at the photos makes me think a biotope photo library would be handy on this forum rather than dotted all over the place on the site.

Wadaya think peoples?
It's easy for me to say that I know because I am not the one doing the hard work.

On topic I am seriously jealous of your experience and wish I could find some time to do this, which is ridiculous statement if you think about it.
One life don't waste it an all that.

Only a few days until we cross the Atlantic. I am having trouble sleeping

That is great you and the others are going Haavard....bring back lots of pics and new ideas for your tanks.

Birger

We have been here for 10 days now. We have been far up in Rio Nanay and its side rivers.We have cought discus, scalare, apistos, hoplias, ancistrus, tetras, corrys, tetras and much-much more.We started with Rio Diamante.Where we found Apistogramma and a Crenicikla that may be new.We also got a lot of big Piranyas and big chicklides we eat.In a small side river to Rio Diamante we found "Yellow cat corys". Plenty of them. WE also found a nice Loricaria to Norman Behr.
I have still not get "O.White" to Ingo but we have 2 weeks more.
After Diamante we vent to Rio Taxja and cought A.Huascare and Agazissi.

Pictures will follow as we sort out uploading another day.
