We did not bring any live specimens with us. The only fish that we brougth back were specimens preserved in alcohol for scientific research.

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

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.
