Brazil, South America, South America
This time I want to show a small stream of the Rio Negro River – Igarape do Daracua near Barcelos, Brazil.
This place interests me a lot, that’s why I tried to recreate this biotope in the aquarium, so my experience can help other aquarists.
My biotope contains wood, twigs and lots of dry leaves. And for the fish I only used Paracheirodon innesi and Petitella bleheri. There are actually many small fish living there, but as my tank measures only 100x40x40cm, I decided to use two species that live in groups – I don’t want this tank to be overpopulated.
I do not use aquatic plants, because in the original biotope there are none at all, except for the vegetation that grows from the seeds of the surrounding trees.
