You should sell it in higher resolution version. I have been buying lots of 4K content. 1080 would be ok. Like it otherwise.

Ivan Mikolji - 7 years ago

Hi Kerry, we do sell it in HD as a download or in bluray at https://mikolji.com/shows-documentaries/freshwater-natural-aquarium-documentary

ElansForest - 7 years ago

Amazing video!!! Thank you so much for doing this, I’m so glad this content is out there. Two critiques I’ve learned from my own small audience: avoid fancy transitions as they’re distracting and avoid music during talking parts. But again, fabulous video! You have a new subscriber :)

Nick Bovee - 7 years ago

what is that song, that is in all your "stock underwater videos"? It is very relaxing... :)

Jake Scot - 7 years ago

Not to be too much the pessimist, but the footage you have recorded may well represent THE LAST remaining intact, pristine freshwater ecosystem examples on the planet. That being noted, you and your production staff are truly pioneers in the freshwater aquatic world. Thanks for all you have contributed.

Finnboem - 7 years ago

Jake Scot this is indeed true and truly sad. I never see any big conservation “companies” say anything about it. Only the Aquarium Industry talks about it, and even that is minimal. I really hope we can atleast save some of them because our aquariums aren’t the most stable too.

andrea meyers - 7 years ago

Nothing has ever evolved, so this video fails within the first 90 seconds.
How can anyone see all the varieties of life in nature, and not have respect for Creator Jesus, is beyond me.

Absolutely awesome video. I am so glad to have stumbled upon your Chanel. I would love to donate to you. But. As of right now. I can't. But if ever I can in the future. I surly will. Thanks for such an awesome video again. Oh. And I would love it if you would also add the hobby name along with the scientific name. Thanks.

JannieInKy - 7 years ago

Awesome video! Seeing such a beautiful natural aquarium, I'm hoping people will understand how important it is to not litter. We must take care of our water ways and the wildlife in them. In turn, they will take care of us. If we don't, then we are doomed. It's so sad about the diamond tetras. They are so beautiful. One of my favorite tetras.

PalJoey1957 - 7 years ago

Beautiful, Ivan.

1) Those Diamond Tetras; we used to see them commonly in pet stores in the sixties and seventies.
2) What is the name of the red lined tetra species at 8:34? At 15:06 there is a tetra identified as Moenkhausia collettii that has similar coloring, but less red in the body, and body shape. Is it the same fish?
3) Likewise, the name of the Pristella sp. at 34:45. They are so much more intensely colored than the washed out ones we see in the shops here.
4) Have you ever thought of raising and re-populating some of the endangered species like the Altums and the Diamonds? Or overseeing such an operation in your country? Some students perhaps? Or an exporter who would restock half of the raised stock in the rivers?
Hope to hear from you.

Kevin spacey - 7 years ago

Diamonds are making a come back they are in Petco. I have 8 of them in my 135g along with of course many other fish.. I want more they are very beautiful

Ivan Mikolji - 7 years ago

Steffan Jansen van Vuuren - 8 years ago

I wonder how many millions of years did it take before fish gills
could extract oxygen from water successfully?
And how did they get along while the gills were still, well not quite gills yet?

Or what came first, a male fish or a female fish?
If a male came first, for what reason was it a male?
There are no females around.
If a female came first, for what was it a female?
There are no males around.

If a male came first, how many millions of years did it take before a female came...?
and how did the males last all those years without females?

Ivan - I cant thank you enough for this fantastic video. I feel indebted to you for making accessible these quality images of my (I mean by "my" that you show some of the fish species I have in my home aquarium!) fish in their natural environment. I would love to see more - having watched every video you've published including all those with George Fear, I am always interested to see more! In this video I really appreciate the care youve taken to identify each species as it appears on camera - that really helps! Thank you for making such a huge effort making and editing this video.

jeviam , a scientific name is the the name , a common name can change depending on who is selling it , or where you are but the Latin is always the same , and with alot of non common fish there is only a scientific name

Xavier Pino - 10 years ago

it is important to know the necessary scientific names... not all of them, common names are useful as well.

thebones - 10 years ago

and your point is that you are normal, great thanks for sharing, I'll sleep easier now.

It feels like a very special privilege to have this intimate look at the natural home of these beautiful creatures, that we so often take for granted. It's hard to pick a favourite scene but it would likely be the footage of parent fish with their broods.

WTF? 7:01, thats not Riccia Fluitans, thats Eichhornia crassipes commonly known as Water Hyacinth. Riccia Fluitans is a floating moss like plant, basic information that any freshwater planted tank owner would know. And any pond owner would know that that's water hyacinth. No wonder it has dislikes. What an unreliable documentary.

tetras are so fascinating with their colors!

Erin Walsh - 10 years ago

Emporer (sp) tetras are one of my favorites! I had a few that lived about 5 years, and bleeding heart tetras. I worked at a store that sold fish when I was in college, I have my degree in Animal science. I loved studying fish on my own, I would show customers how to tell the diff between a male and a female, including neon tetras! some are almost impossible!!!!!

Erin Walsh - 10 years ago

can you share the common names of fish for aquarium beginners?

Erin Walsh - 10 years ago

tetras are my fave aquarium fish, are there any we shouldn't buy? I never buy the dyed ones. are any endangered?

I have on question, towards the end of the documentary you said your favourite fish were the Angelfish but due to uncontrolled collecting and pollution it is harder and harder to find them, is that still the case today? Has their population rebounded?

Your documentaries rock. I wish I was rich enough to send you money for this. I'm not. But you deserve to be supported if there is any economic want in your life. You are creating an education tool of the highest quality in your work, much higher quality than most any others I've seen in any language. You inspire biophilia, which is among the most necessary things to do in these very precarious times.
