2 kinds of Japanese loach at a natural habitat.

[odyssey]

Hi everyone.
I traveled to Hokkaido of the subarctic zone in the Japanese most north by a car and a ferry in the summer holidays.
I toured through wide range by a car and a ferry and took a picture of wild ecology of 2 kinds of loach.

I took a picture of Noemacheilus barbatulus toni in Hokkaido in the Japanese most north.
The video clip is in Youtube.

One next to Hokkaido went to a Japanese central part by a car ferry and took a picture of Niwaella delicata which is an endemic.
The video clip is blow.

The fish above and to the right of the loach is a Salmonidae of some type. i think odyssey said it was a Salvelinus leucomaenis leucomaenis (White-spotted char) in the other thread.
