    This was such a cool video, Stuart. Awesome. I had no idea that white and black water were so different. It seems like they're almost not miscible!

    Thanks, Oscar! Yeah, it's amazing to think that there are so many fish that live in water so acidic. It's especially cool to catch a fish out of super black water because they've been dyed by all the dissolved organic compounds.

    I'm excited to be connecting my research with stakeholders and anyone else interested in Amazonian science. Please post any questions or comments here and I'll respond as soon as a I can!
