i'm erica tovela, a marine biologist. i'm fascinated by freshwater fishes. and nets. she says she's confident that one of the fish she caught hasn't been seen by scientists before. so we have, like, the same genus, but probably for these ones, could be a new species, we hope. so we already took samples for genetics, and we will do morphometrics too, and try to compare to the other ones, describe it. what is it about the fish that you found that makes you think that it might be a new species? ok, the first thing is just the area, like, it's very, very high. when we're trying to follow the features, something was a little bit different, because for this area, we have two species, and some of them was really different from the two ones that we have. so you think it's a possibility it's different? yes, because i was sharing this information with one of the experts for this group, and they said, "ok, this is amphilius, for sure," but i think that it's something new for science, and i hope that we have a new species for this area. it's very exciting. amazing! amazi
