In this meantime I've been collecting in some places of Sao Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul states, and I want to share you you the last caught species in the Atlantic Rainforest of São Paulo.
When I'm fishing I like to go first into the seasonal pools, look for some killis, in some pools around Rio Preto, you can find more than 5 sympatric species in real small pools. The first time I've collect in those pools in the location A, we got Rachoviscus, Leptopanchax, Hyphessobrycon, Callichthys, Hoplosternum, Gymnotus, all this is a single pool with 20 cm of water column, incredible!
In other locality is a nice place for catfish. We were able to capture Scleromystax barbatus and cf. macropterus, probable Ituglanis sp., Pseudotothyris obtusa, and was insane! Awesome fish to collect and to keep.

Rio Preto. Pseudotothyris stay underneath the vegetation and along the flow. The river is blackwater, aprox 6.2 pH, 23º C T, and a nice place for a bath! Got some Scleromystax barbatus there too, they stay close to the sand bottom, in larger shoals, and is kind tricky to catch a lot of them. And Ituglanis (?) come also from here.
I'm sorry, but don't have photos of all places and fishs. There are some videos of my biotope on my IG (pedraz.aquascience), dont know where to host it to post here.

S. cf. macropterus was caught on seasional pools among the river. Just like Callichthys callichthys and Hoplosternum littorale.
Other collected species was Rachoviscus sp., Hyphessobrycon bifasciatus (and 2 more sps that I cant remember the name), Hollandichthys multifasciatus, Geophagus iporangensis, Characidium sp., Gymnotus pantherinus, Mimagoniates microlepis, Leptopanchax itanhaensis and Hoplias malabaricus, I think thats all (on fish list).
Mod note: Your photo links weren't working so I edited the photo links. Cheers
Thanks for editing the photos!
