Hi Guys,
it is finally done. Natasha has worked a full week (although being very sick) to place a compact film together of the real P. altum, of which she made a nice underwater film in a Colombian Laguna, in one of its orginal habitats. In addition I have added orginal habitat photos of its type locality in the Atabapo from my recent November/December field trip and also detailed photographs of those morphologic characters which separate P. altum from all other angelfish species. This species - the real P. altum - is destinct and very much though, and all those which have claimed to have bred P. altum so far, have not bred this unique and majesctic species (at least of all of those I have seen around the world, in the internet and in all publications which mentioned it breeding - except for one and that was while he was away and all offspring was lost in 1992 in Canada). There is a free preview (of 20 seconds) on my home page and one can see the entire video by going to the shop and buy it. It is nearly 10 minutes long and totally comprehensive, including all its mates are mentioned by scientific name in writing, its habitat is well shown, and what he feeds on in nature, as well as its environment in both, the Inirida basin and the blackwater habitat in the Atabapo river. (The latter is its type locality and where I collected it already in the late 1960s and 1970s when I introduced this species for the first time into the hobby.) Enjoy now, also some other videos – under VIDEOS, which are for free... always Heiko Bleher www.aquapress-bleher.com |

QUOTE(danish3210 @ Jan 28 2010, 09:21 PM)  good research work. Hi, thank you guys - this is my work, all my life and for sure until my last day. I want to find every one of the missing freshwater species before it is to late (as for many it is already). Just need to finance those 10-16 field triops every year... And maybe I do not make it all, but sure will try and ad on the the 5000plus found (or re-descovered) so far. Unfortunately in many places, like a few weeks ago in India (Rajasthan), those 50 lakes I wanted to reseearch/collect/catalogue were dry (although on google pas they had water...). But completely dry and we will never know what lived there once... Thanks again for your nice commenst, always Heiko Bleher www.aquapress-bleher.com |

The permanent residence of that desert fish is mountain side ponds, Animals like IBEX(wild goats) also drink water from there.Dry weather causes the small lakes dry in deserts of Rajasthan but that lakes will be there again once they have rain. fish transport in that lakes by flooding in rainy weather called Moon-Soon.

Hi, I wish it was that easy, but maybe they will have water sometime again, but hardly fish as "extinct is forever". Best regards from a reseracher which fortunately is still not extinct, Heiko Bleher www.aquapress-bleher.com |

I feel sorry about extinct species.

I am only sorry that again and again I get to places where they have become history, those I search for, or because of globbal warming, pollution, poisoning the river or lake, by destruction of their type locality/habitat, or by deverting the river or building dams... and often worse: by introducing exotics, like Tilapias, peacock bass or similar. They have NEVER EVER become extinct by collecting for the ornamental fish hobby... Keep up the good work, always Heiko Bleher www.aquapress-bleher.com |
