Paulo & The Mysterious Muck Fish was created for the Amazon Voyage: Vicious Fishes & Other Riches traveling exhibition. One of the key strengths of the exhibition is the portrayal of scientists doing current field research. This film exemplifies the exciting new discoveries being made right now!

Brazilian Ichthyologist, Dr. Paulo Petry has discovered a new species of fish in a place where no one thought to look for one - under wet piles of rotting leaves! “This fish is so new to science that it doesn't yet have a name; for now we call it the ‘muck fish'” says Dr. Petry.

Life in the Amazon's flooded forest is driven by the annual flood cycle. The recent discovery of the ‘muck fish' living in the “middle of the woods" is an example of how life has adapted to these changing water levels. This fish tolerates very low levels of oxygen by breathing air through its skin, giving it a pinkish color. The ‘muck fish' is not only a new species, it's also a new genus, a new family, and maybe even a new suborder of fish.
