The colors of tropical fish, glinting silvery colors, captivating as multicolored tinsel snow floating in suspended animation.

Backwaters

There is a sense of adventure that I remember diving off the back of a small yacht in a backwater tributary of Rio Tigre somewhere in the outskirts of Buenos Aires. You can go from the eclectic Neo-Gothic, Art Nouveau city jungle and get lost in the humid dense forest of the rivers and tributaries of Tigre in a short, quiet cruise.

Sinking into the water I became aware of the milk chocolate colors that welled up, sucking me into its eerily quiet depths. I felt a soft something glide over my foot, I leaped out of there like a Splashing Tetra. I was around twelve that time, watching the silvery blue flashes as I threw morsels into the water, I was captivated by the mystery of what lay beneath the deep.

Since then I have kept aquarium fish and become very experienced. I had become the person who ends up adopting everyone else’s fish, as they either became too big, hard to keep or too much maintenance.
