Wow! The discus pictures let me breathless.
What about post #6? Are them
Hypoptopoma inexspectatum
?

Unlikely. Those are found in the Parana system. I will key them out soon and get a proper ID.
Wow! The discus pictures let me breathless.
Thanks. It was fun photographing them, but dangerous, as they're usually in the branches, and it's easy to get tangled and stuck while you're coming up for air.

The picture of Ammocryptocharax is very revealing about their niche in the habitat.
Thanks a lot for sharing these photos.
