Name those fish

Underwater video at Lago grande do curuai, showing wild Discus in
their natural habitat.

Can you ID the other fish in the video, like the Severums and
Festivums.

Ooohhh fun! Peacock bass 0:53 behind the big shoal of Festivums.
Then a shoal of big silver characins at 1:15. After some Fishbase
gazing I'm going with Brycon melanopterus, called Jatuarana in Brazil
but it's a bit of a guess. They are apparently good eating. At 1:19
a Leporinus spp, possibly Leporinus friderici (three-spot Leporinus).
Great shot of discus at 2:05 with another cichlid briefly in the
frame, a small Geophagus spp. perhaps? I can't see it clearly enough.

Severum in the next clip with a discus (brown?) at 2:23. Third fish
in the frame at 2:30 looks like a wolf fish (hoplias spp?) I'm
probably wrong. More Leporinus and at 3:48 a flagtail fish
(Semaprochilodus taeniurus). More of the silvery characins and
Leporinus at 3:53, more flagtails, and another peacock bass at 4:03.
At 4:21 a Homo sapiens var. aquaticus. ;-) The shoal of blue discus
at the end is amazing.

Maybe I actually got a few right. ;-)

Totally awesome  Video,   Hmmmmmm   Will  all those species  be happy in  water  with a pH 6.0 ??  only a few more weeks and I will  be moving from  the liquid rock water  pH 8.3  in the South   to the  Soft pH 6.0   in the North ,  only problem I have so far encountered is the almost instant furring up of any pellets fed  into the current tank at Partners place to feed the Synodontis negrita that came with the tank when she bought it .Only worry now is moving the tank and stand that is going with me.  Oh joy lol

I spent time in Brazil, but never looked for the fish.  The tape is great.  I have never seen those in their natural habitat before.
