🌿 Why are there so many fish species?

This question has fascinated fish hobbyists and evolutionary biologists for hundreds of years.

Join us as Professor Luciano Beheregaray takes us on a river journey deep into remote Amazonia, exploring the extraordinary diversity of ornamental fishes found in flooded forests — and uncovering why there are so many of them.

This is a rare opportunity to connect cutting-edge biodiversity science with the freshwater aquarium hobby.
