The Rio Xingu, Volta Grande, Rio Iriri, Altamira…..
Exotic, tantalizing names that we are all familiar with because many ornamental fish come from this rich bio-diverse slice of Brazil. Yet these places remain so foreign to us.

What is it really like there? Is the color of the fish more brilliant when you see them moments after emerging from their native waters? How are they caught and who are the people who collect them? What is their natural habitat really like and what dangers is this environment facing in our ever-evolving world? Does the river water feel warm on your skin? How many colors of the rainbow can be seen in a sunset over the Rio Xingu?

Most hobbyists will never know the answers to these questions….

Which is why we are bringing YOU to Brazil for our 2022 Freshwater Exotics Ornamental Fish Expedition. You will see and experience all of this for yourself.
