Fish that lives in peat swamps!

I heard that this is because of the low oxygen levels in bogs, since there is almost no circulation or running water.

That's really cool. Makes you wonder how many other creatures we've yet to discover on this earth...
 
That's cool! I recently saw a new (unnamed) inch long or so predatory catfish on National Geographic which also lives in flooded lowland peat forests floors whos pools are stagnant mud and muck puddles filled with dead leaves and very little actual water. These catfishes look like tiny red angler worms and not fishes at all. I can't recall the show, it was the old hippie-biker nature show guy with the bandana who always intentionally gets stung and bit...

That's very hazardous material
 
Yeah, I think I saw that show with the little red catfish. I didn't think they looked much like fish either at the time, but they never gave us a really good look at them. At least the Indonesian ones had a half-way decent pic or two to see they really are fish.

I saw that show as well. I thought it was amazing how small the little bugger was, not to mention that it was living in a stagnate pool of water. Just incredible...

Man this is so cool.
I bet there are thousands of animals that we hadn't discovered yet... so interesting!

Yeah, new cp's are being discovered too, including a D.rotundifolia with no pigment.

I think it's cool that they live in such acidic water. That can only happen if the water doesn't contact mineral soil, where it would pick up aluminum that would kill the fish.
