Re: Aquatic-Discoveries: Expedition Suriname 2011
The site has been updated today. I also created a Facebook page for updates. The complete fish list can be found in the report, in total we caught 65 species including two possible new species (Parotocinclus sp. and a Bryconops sp.). If some of you plan on visiting the Vivarium 2012 Fair in Holland let me know, I will be there with the book that I made about this expedition.

Re: Aquatic-Discoveries: Suriname Expeditions
The Dutch version of the 2012 expedition is now online: http://www.aquatic-discoveries.nl/2012.html
I will now start working on the English (and possible German) translation of this report and after that I will start to edit the videos. Translation volunteers are welcome, 24 hours per day is not enough.

Finished a new video today. This time we are taking you to the Awadan and Peti rapids in the Gran Rio river, Suriname. Both of these rapids are home to large ammounts of catfishes. The website also had a makeover, be sure to check it out and leave some feedback: http://www.aquatic-discoveries.nl

Re: Aquatic-Discoveries: Suriname Expeditions
Great video. I like the in the fast current.
I like the Web site. One thing I would reconsider though, is using a 724MB video as a background image. It took ages to load, and then made the CPU go crazy. Better off without it, I think.The website also had a makeover, be sure to check it out and leave some feedback
