Back from my trip to Surinam...

[emeraldking]

Hi all,
I'm back from my stay in Surinam. My plan was to partially be the tourist and partially to be the fish collector. This country has a great nature with lots of interesting wild life. In my case, the focus was on fish and most specifically guppies. I've also brought back home some guppies of different populations. I've also stayed a bit longer than planned.
Besides guppies, I've also caught tetras. One of them is th Head and tail light tetra (Hemigrammus ocellifer). But more tetra fish and cories were to be found. But those cories were a bit too fast for me to catch.

Are the different guppy populations from the various capture points different looking?

Welcome back.

Is there any commercial export of aquarium species from Surinam? It's one of the few locations for my holy grail Nannostomus species, N. bifasciatus. The other is the equally unfished Fr. Guiana.

I've seen imports into Canada. Not of those species, but from Surinam.
