In the North of Brazil – Search for new plecos
With a group of aquarists, I‘ve visited Roraima – the northern most state of Brazil – to search for unknown plecos. Together with local fishermen we were able to discover several new L-numbers and also some Corys. With the Jatapu, Anauá and Jauaperi we have examined three autonomous river systems. In this talk I‘ll show not only pictures of the fishes we caught, but also some views of the towns and, of course, many biotope pictures and data will be shown. We have caught not only catfishes, but also some known and unknown tetras and cichlids.
