The breathtaking beauty of the Brycon fish, also known as Piraputanga (Brycon hilarii), is a sight to behold. In the underwater landscape of Aquario Natural, Rio Baia Bonito, these magnificent creatures gracefully swim through the crystal-clear waters. Their vibrant colors and sleek bodies make them stand out amidst their surroundings. In the tranquil Rio Olhio d agua, a tributary of Rio da Prata, a shoal of Piraputanga glides effortlessly through the currents. The sunlight dances on their scales as they navigate through the gentle flow of water. A snorkeler is lucky enough to witness this mesmerizing spectacle up close at Cabeceira do Prata. Not only are Piraputanga found in harmony with each other but also alongside small Tetra fish (Hyphessobrycon sp. ) in Rio Olhio d Agua. This unique combination creates an enchanting scene where different species coexist peacefully. In Brazil's lush forests, it is not uncommon to see Piraputanga leaping out of water to catch fruit hanging from overhanging branches. Their agility and precision are truly remarkable as they snatch their meal mid-air. Another fascinating aspect is how these beautiful fish reflect on the water surface at Aquario Natural, Bonito. The mirror-like effect adds an ethereal touch to their already captivating appearance. Whether swimming close to the surface or deep below, shoals of Piraputanga never fail to captivate observers with their elegance and gracefulness.
