The center of the channel received direct sunlight, while the margins were heavily shaded by intact, tall-stature lowland rain forest. The stream was sampled in an upstream direction for approximately half a kilometer, starting from a crossing on a secondary road that led to a ford on main Iweka River. At the upper end of this reach the stream split into two forks, with the left fork having tannin-stained, tea-colored waters, and the right fork having clear, slightly bluish waters. About halfway between the road crossing and the confluence a small, shaded forest spring entered from the east bank, feeding into a slow bayou (
