View File River Monsters Season 2x04 "Congo Killer" Jeremy Wade travels to the Congo once again, the only river to ever defeat him. He had once travelled there, only to catch nothing. Now he's back, investigating reports of fishermen being dragged to their death by a malevolent river spirit. Wade suspects the Suni or Vundu catfish and the Kamba catfish, which are known to grow to large sizes. But he begins to wonder if there are any monstrous sized fish out there in these waters. While staying with local villagers, he faces their superstitious beliefs because they blame his arrival for the disappearance of the chief's brother. Even mosquitoes are deadly here. In the past, Jeremy nearly lost his life to malaria. After using traditional Congolese fishing methods, hearing of how one fisherman died, and finally facing a catfish, Jeremy begins to wonder if the real danger isn't the fish itself. Featured animals Kamba catfish (Chrysichthys cranchii) Giraffe catfish (Auchenoglanis occidentalis) Vundu catfish (Heterobranchus longifilis) Obscure snakehead (Parachanna obscura) Marbled lungfish (Protopterus aethiopicus) Gambian malaria mosquito (Anopheles gambiae) 9 May 2010 Submitter João Branquinho Submitted 16-07-2017 Category River Monsters

View File River Monsters Season 2x03 "Killer Snakehead" Journeying to Florida in the US, Jeremy encounters the invasive bullseye snakehead, which were introduced to the state from Southeast Asia. With razor-sharp teeth and the abilities to breathe air and "walk" on land, these aggressive predators soon spawned numerous rumors of being man-eaters. Proving to be incredibly violent and vicious, Wade gets to the bottom of their monstrous rumors, only to be unconvinced of their lethality. That is, until he learns of another species, the giant snakehead, which is reported to be the largest and most dangerous of all the snakeheads. Meanwhile, he travels up to Illinois and gets a taste of how much of an impact an invasive species such as the silver carp can have on humans. Arriving at Khao Laem Dam along the River Kwai in Thailand, Wade uncovers stories of attacks, one being fatal. With no luck in reeling one specimen in with a line, he then dives deep into a murky river right in the middle of a school of young snakehead, hoping to find their murderous parents. Featured animals Giant snakehead (Channa micropeltes) Silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) Bullseye snakehead (Channa marulius) Butterfly peacock bass (Cichla ocellaris) Florida gar (Lepisosteus platyrhincus) Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) Alligator gar (Atractosteus spatula) Bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) Northern snakehead (Channa argus) 2 May 2010 Submitter João Branquinho Submitted 16-07-2017 Category River Monsters

View File River Monsters Season 2x02 "Death Ray" Jeremy Wade ventures to the Mekong River in Thailand to find what may be the largest freshwater fish: the giant freshwater stingray. Armed with a 10 inch, venom-coated barb, this fish grows to 16 feet long and its venom has no known antidote. Unlike most South American freshwater stingrays (which usually don't get very big and deadly), this creature is a true monster. This behemoth can nearly glue itself to the bottom of the river, and once Jeremy hooks one, it may be his biggest challenge yet. In this adventure he also meets other giants of Southeast Asia: the gentle Mekong giant catfish, a close relative of the well-known iridescent shark. The giant barb he caught in this trip only appears on some photographs made during filming, but not in the actual episode or the extended cut. Featured animals Giant freshwater stingray (Himantura polylepis) Mekong giant catfish (Pangasianodon gigas) Ocellate river stingray (Potamotrygon motoro) Giant barb (Catlocarpio siamensis) 25 April 2010 Submitter João Branquinho Submitted 16-07-2017 Category River Monsters

View File River Monsters Season 2x01 "Demon Fish" Jeremy travels deep into the jungles of the Congo in search of a little-known predator that may be the most terrifying monster of all: the fearsome Goliath tigerfish. This creature combines everything that made all previous river monsters deadly, and even more. Growing to 6 feet long with the jaws and teeth of a crocodile and an attitude of a shark, this beast is covered in armor plating and thick muscle. Basically a giant piranha, the tigerfish is believed to be responsible for gruesome deaths on humans, both in and out of water. The search for the elusive tigerfish pushes Jeremy to his mental limit as he uses everything he knows as a fisherman, as well as some luck from a witch doctor, to find this terrifying monster and uncover the truth behind a number of violent attacks. After several unsuccessful bites, he finally lands a true monster, but then he enters a dilemma to share this fish with the locals or let it swim away. Featured animals Goliath tigerfish (Hydrocynus goliath) Blockhead cichlid (Steatocranus casuarius) African arowana (Heterotis niloticus) Smallmouth electric catfish (Malapterurus microstoma) West African bichir (Polypterus retropinnis) 28 March 2010 Submitter João Branquinho Submitted 16-07-2017 Category River Monsters

View File River Monsters Season 1x05 "Freshwater Shark" Sharks are perhaps the most dangerous and feared of all fish, but these predators are confined to the oceans. Or maybe not... The bull shark, the most dangerous and aggressive shark, has been known to swim miles up rivers. Jeremy follows reports of attacks in rivers near the most populated shores of Australia to find out why and how far these fish swim upstream. He traces the trail of blood left by these monsters from bays and lagoonsto rivers, until he finally zeros in on the lair of these sea monsters. After seeing the evidence that these predators can even attack race horses and drag people underwater in completely fresh water, he realizes that he faces a creature even deadlier than a great white shark. While fishing for one, Jeremy finds something even more shocking and terrifying than a fully grown shark. Featured animals Bull shark (Carcharhinus leucas) Saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) Giant grouper (Epinephelus lanceolatus) Freshwater crocodile (Crocodylus johnsoni) Short-finned eel (Anguilla australis) 17 May 2009 Submitter João Branquinho Submitted 16-07-2017 Category River Monsters

A iniciativa de levar aquários para a PetFestival NÃO É SÓ para os moderadores! O tópico é que foi criado aqui para os moderadores que têm os ditos cubos do fórum partilharem o setup e a montagem, e com isso fazerem divulgação de quão importante é a comunidade se envolver de forma mais activa nos eventos onde a aquariofilia está representada. Todos os anos lançamos o tópico a perguntar quem quer participar, mas infelizmente são poucos os membros que participam no tópico e depois menos ainda os que acabam por participar na feira... Este tópico visa precisamente mostrar como é possível, com um pouco de boa vontade e dedicação, preparar aquários que serão irão mostrados na PetFestival, mas ao mesmo tempo ir partilhando aqui os passos da montagem e a evolução. Gonçalo e Ismael, será muito bom podermos contar também com os vossos aquário na PetFestival! E quem diz os vossos, diz o de todos os outros membros que tenham interesse em o fazer. Afinal, a exposição é da comunidade como um todo :) Obrigado! JB
