to you on a Sunday baby how's everybody doing I hope you're doing well
today's video is a fun one for me I've been feeling like I want to go back to
the jungle so today I'm gonna bring you my top ten aquarium fish that I have
caught with my own two bare hands or net down in the jungle of Peru
number ten fish ten fish I collected in the wild what top five or top ten video
will be complete without the hostages that's right folks ask for fish this bad
boy was collected on the Napo River which is a river that runs south of
Iquitos and actually has a lower ph and this fish was collected check this out
at the very end of like a stream that was filled with thousands of some sort
of species of pictus cats just tons and tons and tons of them and I just imagine
this fish I didn't actually see it doing this because we caught it up in a net
this Oscar just being in true Oscar fashion is going Bam Bam Bam just
sitting there hunting pecking off everything at the end of this little
canal anything weak or whatever the hospital was tearing them up know some
of you might be grossed out by this we also did end up eating this Oscar fish a
little bit later on that night but that's what they eat in Peru and it was
served up and a little bit bony that was pretty good if I do say so myself
Oscar fish my number 10 fish are collected in the wild number 9 of my
favorite fish I collected in the wild I want to talk about the best of them
cichlid very cool little fish you don't see that much around in the Hobby as far
as I've seen best ones think about if someone took like a several and an
angelfish and cross them together festivals have these like two front
pectoral fins that are a little more elongated they have like a slightly
upturned mouth or whatever and they're a great little surface hunter I actually
brought four of these home sadly they got hit with the cold strike in the
greenhouse and didn't make it but I can tell you fantastic school are they all
like kind of hung out together in a cool kind of kind of angelfish style actually
the downside of course to the festival cichlid once we got them home I realized
just how quickly these suckers destroyed rotala indica a bunch
amongst a bunch of other stem plants festivals very cool all over the low pH
Napa River down in Peru my number nine favorite fish I collect in the wild
sticking with cleaning fish my number eight favorite fish we collected down in
the jungle of Peru also on the Napo River slightly lower pH we're talking
about the severums folks I have to tell you I have never seen severance symptoms
and wharoo is also considered the poor man's disease I've never seen suburbs
with this kind of color they had almost of like a bright teal bluish color to
them as well as a super bright orange anal fin just awesome looking fish we
were collecting them they were about the size of like a half-dollar all the way
up to full size let a bunch of them go but it was just cool to go through the
net and just kind of see them all just bright color supernatural colors great
little plant eater didn't bring any him home but severums super-sexy severums my
number eight fishes we caught in the wash
my number seven favorite fish we collected in Peru this might even be
higher than this talking about the hatchet fish now folks just getting
these fish and the story behind it is a story in a video in and of itself but
basically we went off of channel of the Napo River where the guy Devon was
greeted by people from this village who knew him or like a que pasa Devon they
took us to the agua negra or black water which was actually a little bit of a
pond way behind their village or whatever I've never been staring at so
hard in my life there was about a dozen little kids wondering what these you
know lanky green goes like myself for doing with nets in the back of their
little pond I'm with the legendary fish keeper Mike
barber you can click the links around here and check out his amazing fish were
me actually lunch trips down to Peru with this company go wild Peru anyway I
hear I'm gonna help Mike clucks 11 hatchet how did you get in one
swoop 11 the first net hatchet fish in one netting 11 straight up you can see
the look on his face was pretty pumped about it and yeah totally awesome
probably around a pH of 6 if I had to guess water was pretty black and Devon
said it was a pretty low pH but had to fish super cool
I love seeing him coming up in the nets and then obviously taking him back of
his had to fish my number seven favorite fish we collected in the world
my number-6 favorite fish are collected in the wild I'm talking about quarry
cache I love me some 40 cats always have so the first time I was down there in
2012 I was on the Nanai River we had been hanging out it was you know
somewhat late night the Sun had gone down and Devon disappears Devon is the
leader of all these tours of margarita tours he disappears he comes back later
we're all hanging out around this big round table on the boat he goes if
somebody say they wanted some Cory cats and throws down a bag of Loretto
instance Cory cats they got the higher fin on him on at the table he had been
out there in the dark with a flashlight shining it down and then just scooping
him as they flew into the light so that was the first time we had Cory cats no
we didn't bring these back as he said that they actually don't do well in
captivity spended of letting them all go but it was still cool to pull him off a
beach at about 8 o'clock at night the second time we got the Cory cats we
caught elegance Cory cats these were collected this was a lot harder of work
this was done on the Napo River right in front of these peoples home right here
yeah we rolled up obviously I didn't speak to Spanish but they said yeah it's
fine go ahead and search around and hear Segundo and a bunch of other folks
pulled up a bunch of Cory cats these are actually elegance Cory cats and I had a
few of these in the 220 for a while and oh yeah Cory cats totally loving the
Cory cats too my number 6 favorite fish I collected in the wild
my number five favorite fish collected in Peru I'm talking about the blood fin
tetras now these are not your standard blood fin touches these are actually the
Peruvian blood fin tetras did not expect to be pulling these fish out we pulled
up on to one of the beaches on the Napo River the meandering Napa River all the
rivers in Peru and Amazon kind of weave around so this was one of the turns that
makes a big beach we rolled up on there used the big Seine and pulled up
probably 50 of these you'll note this fish has the longer anal fin and we
pulled him out they actually had a really cool blue on them they're also
slightly bigger than the blood fins that you typically see in the shop but super
great actually had about 15 of these shipped home sadly they were in a coffee
shop and they slowly one by one jumped out of the tank there wasn't a lid on
the tank I still have two of them in the 220 reminding me of the times back when
I was in Peru blood fin tetras peruvian blood fin Tetris my number five favorite
fish collected in the wall
my number-4 favorite fish collected in peru and this is actually my number one
fish of all time if I had to pick one I'm talking about the angelfish now
folks the angelfish we collected were the Dnieper River angelfish they call a
Peruvian autumns they are not ultimate they do have the longer slender body
they're actually the scolaire I I could not believe it and we'll never forget
the day we pulled about 50 of these up with the huge stain that on the river of
them then on the edge of the Nanaia River
totally amazing we were throwing them back we had so many of I ended up
bringing home about four of them I actually have two of them still one of
them's in the 220 living by himself and the other one somehow managed to lose an
eye while he was living in the no maintenance tank for a while so he is
out in the greenhouse they live separately but the nanai angels totally
fantastic slightly lower ph we did find him what they consider white water
though so it was slightly faster moving which surprised me and then I angelfish
folks get yourselves down to four and collect your own angelfish my number
four favorite fish we collected in Peru
my number three favorite fish we collected in the wild I'm talking about
the knife fish now look we actually caught about three different types of
the knife fish but my particular favorite one was the type of Jim notice

trying to keep monster fish anytime soon alright
one morning Senor Devon says hey Dustin lift up that lid on that bucket right
there and in this giant bucket was the two
greatest catfish that you see here I didn't catch it I'll admit it but I held
it up like I caught it this was actually caught by one of the members of the crew
using a tiny little stick a piece of string and a hook no fancy Zebco fishing
pole or anything like that these fish are amazing these fish are
caught and highly regarded down and proved because of the amount of sheer
meat that they have I'm not keeping a monster to grant us anytime soon however

kept some in her 265 to Grannis catfish oh my goodness my number-two favorite

jungles of Peru I'm telling you the story folks it's been a long hot day on
the Nile River your boy Dee had a little bit of rum and then took a little bit of
a nap because I'm not a big drinker woke up we had the massive stain out we were
going for discus we were going for all kinds of crazy fish and all of a sudden
out over the top of the Seine the mighty peacock vast reign supreme leaping out
over the net as we tried to catch him we did actually get a few of them in the
net my girl Jen you can see the clip here she's rolling with the peacock bass
