You know that feeling you get when you are someplace that you can be, but maybe you should not be? Ted Judy and his expedition partners head to Lago Macasabe, a blackwater oxbow lake along the Rio Guaviare.
After a rough start to the day, persistence pays off and the team gets a huge sampling of Rio Atabapo aquarium fishes!
Finally, the team gets a full day exploring the Rio Atabapo and lower Caño Vitina. What piscine secrets swim, veiled within the tannin stained water?
After offloading yesterday’s catch, the team attempts the journey to the Rio Atabapo. Delays at the port and violent weather put the journey at risk.

Ted Judy & his expedition companions depart for Caño Vitina, only to be sidetracked by an ephemeral marsh teeming with aquatic plants and interesting fish. You’ll have to watch now to see what they found!
After exploring a calm pool, Ted Judy and Hernando Gil turn their attention to swift waters below a small man-made rock dam. What aquarium curiosities will they find? Watch, and don’t miss the bonus birdwatching footage!
We have not seen a lot of Corydoras catfish, so when Hernando asked me what I wanted to see on my last full day of collecting in the Llanos, I told him to someplace where I could find Corydoras metae, one of the iconic aquarium fish from the Meta river system.
Ted Judy’s Colombian video series takes a detour back to his US-based fishroom to build a Colombian biotope-inpsired aquascaped aquarium.
As the team deals with rain swollen rivers, they turn to tiny waters that yield tetras, Apistogramma, and other discoveries.
