Does any know how they filmed this? I always thought it was in the wild.
Its mind boggling like how they do all the time lapse shots in Planet Earth.
Cichlids in thier natural habitat.

Yeah I don't know, with the search funtion down I can't find the previous thread on this. I does look to me that the last couple of scenes are definetly shot in the wild though.
Also I see no fake plant at 0:37-0:41.
Also yes, does not look like it's fake. Or at least, it looks mostly wild.

They are some type of astyanax tetra. There are so many types and they move so fast it is hard to tell. A common astaynax is the Mexican tetra found in the southern US. and Mexico. I have astyanax bimaculatus which may be the sp. in the Panama. They typically have a spot near the head and the tail. All of the astyanax sp. have that black and red tail, and most are larger growing to 6'' like my bimaculatus. My biggest is 6'' and will they will eat right out of your hand. As you can see in the video, they are very bold and always looking to eat cichlid fry.
