Additional Information In the middle reaches of the são Francisco river flows through relatively arid areas, changing in the rainy season when the water level in the river rises up to 6-7 meters. At this time formed many quiet backwaters and canals, which begin to flourish aquatic plants, especially on bright sunlit areas. In the shadows growing on the shores of shrubs and trees, among the roots find their spawning grounds and shelters different species of fish. At this time, within a small area of the water body can meet together seasonal Killi Fish , such as beautifully painted Simpsonichthys auratus, off-season Killi Fish Rivulus xiphidius and various types of tetras living here.
