Congo, the Democratic Republic of the, Maluku, Kinshasa province
The 300 liter aquarium is a replica of the natural biotope of a small bay located in a tributary of the Lufimi River, in the province of Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo This place received its name “Anubias Bay” due to its unique natural features. What makes this place special is that the water from the Amani spring and the Lufimi river does not mix due to the difference in parameters. Lufimi is a black water river, but in the bay it is crystal clear. Throughout the bay grow exclusively Anubias species, which, in combination with white sand, stones and natural driftwood, create an amazing underwater landscape. I thoought that it would be interesting to recreate such an unusual natural biotope in an aquarium.
