Perú – Expeditions in the amazonian lowlands
In 2012 I‘ve completed a group of three aquarists to go to the amazonian lowlands in Perú. We have visited the best known rivers like the Itaya, Momon, and Nanay rivers. Furthermore we‘ve made an expedition to the Tapiche river.
On these trips we‘ve caught many different catfishes like plecos (esp. Panaqolus),
whiptails and Corys, but also dwarf cichlids like Apistogramma, and tetras and larger cichlids, too. Additionally we have visited some exporters of ornamental fish that I will show, too.
