It's a constant battle but I think we're finally making headway. I had to pay $45 for a new anti spam addon

Here is another link, I had totally forgotten.

Guyanewildfish: fish from Guyana (-not sure if its still called french Guyana)

(-not sure if its still called french Guyana)

Guyana is officially called the Co-operative Republic of Guyana

The other two also have different names nowerday.

 

[rasmusW]

Yeah! That’s what got me confused. There is Guyana (as in home to my bimac’s), Surinam and then what I thought was called Guiana or french guiana.

-aaanywho… here is another great link.

Zimna Zośka: apart from having a lot of nice tanks she also posted some habitat videos from Peru.

As I understand it, French Guiana is a "department" of France, sort of like Hawaii and Alaska are states of the USA but not physically connected to any of the other contiguous states.

More like Puerto Rico legally speaking, but that's just as I understood a french colleague.

 

[Yoannikko]

French Guyana is actually a DROM, or an overseas département and region. They have the same status as a département or region in mainland France. Other DROMs include Réunion, Martinique, Guadeloupe, and Mayotte.

Merci pour la précision!
Thanks for the clarification!

Here is a few new links.

Aquainfo -lots of different fish habitats.

Article -168 pages on Amazon fish distribution. Perfect for good night read…

I like this link for seeing what all those different tetra look like:

149 Tetra Fish Types - Different Varieties of Tetras

149 different types of the rarest, common & most popular aquarium Tetras Fish (with photos) available in the fishkeeping hobby.

aquadiction.world

(not commenting on information they provide but being able to see names/pictures of 149 tetra without clicking on each fish is a bonus); sadly the data on apisto for that site kind of sucks.

Just for those who think it's a knock-off of Tannin Aquatics: The owners know each other and Betta Botanicals basically steps in for Scott of Tannin Aquatics, as he is going on a hiatus for some time, as mentioned in his last post of The Tint in January and proven by the fact that all products at Tannin Aquatics are sold out.
