I want to share with you my most recent trip, this time I decided to go to La Laguna de la Media Luna, I was looking for Nosferatus labridens & bartoni and I wanted check the status of these populations and my objective was met in full, the species that we could found were:

Nosferatu bartoni

Nosferatu labridens

Cichlasoma carpintis

And most likely some hybrid

Here is the gallery

Excellent photos as usual.

Any ideas what the plants are? I really like them. Some sort of water lily I'm guessing?

No, I'm sorry but I don´t know anything about plants, I just can say that they contributing so much with the quality of the water because they produce a lot of oxygen, in some pics even you can see the columns of oxygen bubbles that they make.

Beautiful shots Paco.
The plants look very much like young Nymphea water lilies that haven't grown to the surface yet, very similar to the ones I saw in cenote Aktun Ha.

Well, I have finished editing the video and think it will be good enough, the truth is that the camera does not give much to get good videos, so I had to make do with what there is, I hope you like it.
