Welcome back to Featherfin Films! Today we talk about the Psilorhynchus torrent minnows of South Asia. I've mentioned them briefly in previous videos, so this was made to add a bit of context to "Clear Walls" and "The Rheophily Files". When I was much younger, information on these fishes was really hard to come by, and the 6 blurry pictures on FishBase raised more questions than anything. In the space of 15 years, over 20 species were discovered, I met the man who discovered over half of them, and I even got to see some preserved specimens in person! Hopefully this video serves as a nice introduction to these fishes and drums up some kind of interest in them. Special thanks to Meenkaran on Twitter + YT for providing permission to use his footage and Dr. Kevin Conway for dealing with my many questions over the years.
