This is the Glass Tetra, a small South American characin many people still know as Moenkhausia oligolepis, now placed in the genus Bario. Records cluster across the lowland Amazon, parts of the Orinoco, and the coastal drainages of the Guianas. In clear and tea-stained lowland waters, igarapés, side channels, and floodplain lakes, loose schools hold position, then dart to pick drifting food. Diet is omnivorous, but largely consists of tiny invertebrates: micro-crustaceans, insect larvae, and ins

This is Badis khwae, a tiny predatory freshwater fish from western Thailand. It may look like a dwarf cichlid, but it isn’t. On the map, it’s known from the Mae Khlong basin, especially the Khwae Noi drainage, where it was described from shaded stream habitats. Records also include quiet, vegetated waters in the basin. It’s small, around 3 cm standard length, but like other badids it’s a micropredator, picking off small invertebrates like insect larvae and tiny crustaceans. Badis are often calle

Fishipedia on Instagram: "Mangroves once teemed with life. Now? They are a lot quieter. We’ve lost a third of global mangrove forests, but these tangled roots still shelter billions of baby fish each year. Without them, species like fiddler crabs, long-snouted seahorses, and spotted scats (Scatophagus argus) could vanish. They’re nurseries, coastal shields, and carbon vaults. The shifting baselines effect makes this decline feel normal, but it’s not. Mangroves matter. Let’s not forget them."

Fishipedia on Instagram: "The Atlantic Forest, once ~3,000 km, now 90% lost. Yet its waters hold 995 freshwater fish spp., with of them 80% endemic. Nearly half the Amazon’s count in a smaller area. Many are micro-endemics relying on microhabitats. 49 fish species are now officially threatened. The pressures are clear, urban growth, agriculture (eucalyptus/sugarcane/bananas), pollution, dams, riparian vegetation clearing.

Fishipedia on Instagram: "Wild discus in the Amazon. Across the lowland Amazon, the seasonal flood pulse can raise water levels by ~10 metres, turning forests into underwater habitat for months. In that maze of stems and branches, the discus’ round, compressed body slips through tight cover, and the vertical bars help break up its outline for camouflage. Seasonality shapes everything: in low water, they can gather in dense groups around submerged wood in lakes and the main rivers; in high water,

You know “Nemo” and “Dory.” But what you might not know is that the real species behind these stories depend entirely on coral reefs, reefs that are now bleaching globally at unprecedented scale. Since 2023, 84% of the world’s coral reefs have been exposed to dangerous heat stress. A group of 160 scientists warns that warm-water reefs may be the first planetary tipping point triggered by climate change.

Found in the clear forest streams of the Ecuadorian Amazon, it belongs to the Bujurquina genus of small riverine cichlids known for their strong parental care. Pairs defend territories and guard their fry in shallow over sand, rocks, and leaf litter."

More than 30 freshwater fish species documented in their real habitats, including several with no prior official field photos.

Down in the rocky reefs of the Mediterranean lives the painted comber (Serranus scriba). One of four Serranus species found here (out of at least 31 worldwide), sharing the water with S. cabrilla, S. hepatus, and S. papilionaceus. Those bold stripes? Camouflage. A patient ambush predato. Spring comes, and they spawn under rocks. But here’s the truly wild part, these fish are simultaneous hermaphrodites. Not one sex that switches later. Not taking turns season by season. They carry functional ova

This isn’t a Corydoras, it’s something you might not have heard about! Filmed in a forest stream in São Paulo, Scleromystax barbatus is part of a small, understudied genus once lumped in with Corydoras. But Scleromystax are distinct, especially the males, with their elongated fins and barbels. They live in clear Atlantic Forest streams, feeding on invertebrates and detritus, and are often seen in small groups. The exact number of species in the genus remains debated, many are found in isolated r

Fishipedia on Instagram: "Rare catfish footage from the upper Río Napo, near Tena! Filmed by the Yaku Nawi Project team, this Heptapteridae catfish is still being identified, likely Pimelodella sp. These “three-barbeled” catfishes are fast, secretive, and mostly active at night though they can also been during the day, using sensory barbels to navigate and feed. We observed 3 unidentified Heptapteridae species during this work, and we’ll keep going until we can properly ID every specimen."

Unlike Asian “river stingrays,” which still trace their lineage back to the sea, the Potamotrygonidae family evolved inside the rivers of South America… and never went back. Potamotrygon motoro ranges across the Amazon, Orinoco and Paraná–Paraguay basins, from Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela and Bolivia down to Paraguay and Argentina. They hide in sand by day, hunt with electro-sensors by night, and give birth to live pups, often an odd number, using only one ovary. Nature is wild. The only tr

Filmed by the Yaku Nawi team in the Yana Yacu River, this species is known for its ambush strategy, cryptic patterning, and powerful jaws. These fish are vital to the ecosystem, yet remain poorly studied in remote tributaries like the Yana Yacu. New footage like this helps shed light on their behavior and role in the food web."

Seen in both slow waters alongside Apistogramma and in medium currents with other characins, this species shows ecological flexibility. Its ID is still unconfirmed, could it be an undescribed species? The Upper Napo remains one of the most understudied regions of the Amazon. Each observation like this brings us closer to understand

Sea lampreys are older than dinosaurs, more than 300 million years of evolutionary history, still alive in our rivers today. Unlike sharks and rays, they’re jawless vertebrates: no paired fins, no scales, just a smooth, eel-like body and a circular suction mouth lined with keratin teeth. At sea, Petromyzon marinus feeds by attaching to other fish. But in freshwater, on their spawning migration as seen in this video, they don’t feed at all. Adults come upstream, reproduce, and die. Unlike sharks

It supports 3,500 plant species and an extraordinary diversity of birds, reptiles, amphibians and mammals, including the jaguar. But underwater, we’re still catching up, across the basin, 342 native fish species have been recorded so far, and with limited sampling in many areas, more are likely still waiting to be documented.
