WOLF FISH DVD

The footage on this DVD will help you know what a real underwater habitat looks like so you can get an idea of how to recreate it in your home aquarium. It will also show you how the fish behave and interact in the wild. The DVD is not professionally edited but has short narrations explaining and giving details on water temp., PH, behavior, etc. FOREWORD: Piranhas normally live in very silty brown water. Finding a river with water, clear enough to film in it, is extremely rare, but... There are 6 weeks of the year when a “small dry river” in  Venezuela fills up with water. This small river gets filled as it drains rain water from a plain. What makes this river and plain so special is that in that small area, the ground consists of silica sand, which has no silt in it. When the plain floods, the “small dry river” becomes alive as it drains the plains clear rain waters into the silty Portuguesa River, which is one of the most Piranha infested river in Venezuela. Once the plain and the Portuguesa River are connected, all the fish swim against the current and up to the plain through the “small dry river”. So you get, clear waters with piranhas in it. This connection only happens with the heaviest rains which are at the end of the rainy season. This exceptional moment was filmed by us and put into this DVD.

The underwater footage is incredible. Apart from Pygocentrus there are other very interesting shots. I think it’s the only footage of other piranhas like irritans, medinai (briefly), and Catoprion. Of coarse they have to be edited (reduced) with the best footage.  It was also interesting to see the coloration pattern of Geophagus (Satanoperca) in their natural habitat. This coloration pattern is never seen in preserved fish. About  the Road Trip part, let me tell you that it is boring compared to the rest of the video, sorry to be so honest. Well Ivan, this week I’ll see the other DVD. Antonio Machado – Allison from Caracas, Venezuela. Piranha 1 DVD is an amazing homemade movie created by Ivan Mikolji that captures several species of caribe in their native habitat in Venezuela. In the footage hobbyists can see caribe fishing, feeding and habitat. More importantly many of the myths attributing caribe as man-eaters are destroyed. I strongly recommend this DVD if you collect species of piranha/caribe. Though some of the segments are very long in format, it does not diminish its educational value and certainly worth every minute of it. Also included are Venezuelan music compilation that fits the native scenario of this video. Frank Magallanes, OPEFE, opefe@charter.net Roseburg, Oregon USA Frank, Finally had some time to sit down and enjoy the Venezuela video and must say that its probably the best piranha video coverage I have seen. It tops all the coverage done on the Discovery Channel. Makes me want to film one of my own out in the wild. :) Thanks again for sharing this with me. :) You made my day. Arnold from USA Hi Ivan, I got it yesterday, thanks for asking ,it’s great I’m a moderator of piranha-fury (Netherlands) and it’s very cool to see the piranha’s in their natural habitat, the feeding part is awesome, standing in the water during feeding!!! I saw the DVD at the Opefe site and ordered it right away!! John from Netherlands Hi Ivan, I found out about the dvd by viewing the trailers on youtube, I have a shoal of 10 caribe so often browse youtube for videos etc.. I would like to say that the video is just what the enthusiast wants to see. Plenty of footage of the fish in their natural habitat. I thouroughly enjoyed the dvd from start to finsih, and would certainly love to do it myself one day. A $35 well spent! definately beats anything I have seen on dvd before or the discovery channel. Keep up the good work :) Thank you very much!  Paul from England, UK , Merlin_2k1_@hotmail.com I received the Piranha 1 DVD today! I've seen the first 2 chapters and I'm really enthusiastic about it already. Thank you for making it and I wish you success in the future with your other documentaries. Freshwater stingrays would be interesting! Sincerely, Nils van Woerden, Netherlands, pilsnah@hotmail.com I really enjoyed watching the movie. The underwater footage was priceless seeing the way all the fish interact underwater. Also to see how densely populated the fish were with each other was amazing. I would love to take a trip down there one day. Thanks, Mark from Canada     For shipping details and questions please write to me at info@mikofish.com

WOLF FISH DVD REVIEWS
	Hello Ivan,   Just finished watching the wolffish dvd for the third time. Amazing dvd can't believe  the size of the huge aimara that you guys got. That thing is a monster. If that thing got a hold of you it would do some serious damage. The underwater footage was simply stunning.   Thanks, Marcus from Canada
