I want to share with you guys some pics from my last trip to Chiapas, particularly of Rio Bascan

Paco.

love the habitat pics, did you see any thorichthys or vieja?

Very nice - great to see the fish in their native habitat!

Do you drive from Mexico City to Chiapas or how do you get there (and get around)?

No, actually we went trying to find Paraneetroplus omonti, but it wasn't possible.

Yes, we drove for 10 hours to get there, very nice experience.

Love the habitat pics, some of my favorite species.
How strong was the current?
From the above water shot, looks to be formidable for snorkeling.

Cool - was Juan Miguel your guide?

Are you permitted to collect fish for your aquarium or just observe?

Would love to see pictures of the whole journey!

No, I was in a trip with some friends of mine as part of the activities of CARAC including Marco Arroyo...
