Myanmar, Kachin State, Mo-Thyin Township
Small-sized fish have always been close to me, especially the rarer, lesser-known species and for this reason, I chose Indostomus paradoxus and Dario hysginon for my aquarium. Both species are endemic in Myanmar and can be found at the shallower coastal section of the Indawgyi Lake.
With my 63 liter aquarium, I tried to provide a suitable living space for these tiny fish. Since both species are near the shore, I used reed stems as decoration with driftwood and smaller branches. The dirt layer covering the soil was made of decomposed leaves and peat. I used Vallisneria spiralis and Salvinia cucullata which are among the most common plants in the Lake. The lighting is not too strong, the filter flow is calm and equable.
