Technology for water applications

The aquarium takes its inspiration from the Rio Trombetas, specifically in the Comunidade Iripixi, where the discus were caught. Here, the water does not flow violently and has a colour similar to black tea. There are branches of trees that have fallen into the water, and the riverbed is composed of fine white sand and dry leaves.
