Carlos & Siran Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Anyone seen this on Sky yet? Wow, what a river, by all accounts the lower Congo has the largest species of fish of any river, including the Amazon. And Scientists have discovered that it's the river it's self that has caused this phenom, due to it's massive white water and currents, each fish species has been isolated and unable to interbreed, creating new species. I know you can get the elephant trunk fish but is there any other lower Congo delta fish available to aquarists? I should imagine that it would be very difficult to simulate their environment.

David R Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 the lower Congo has the largest species of fish of any river, including the Amazon. What is it? Bigger than the arapima or meekong catfish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottie841 Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 It is a cool show. It is interesting that in some parts the river is deeper than the cook straight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos & Siran Posted April 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Some trenches are up to 700ft deep. Probably not a good place to go spotlighting........as you're likely to have a AK47 pointed at your head! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
