Republic of Palau, Oceania, Ngeremlengui State
This Biotope Aquarium Model depicts the rapid current headwater of Palau’s largest river, the Ngermeskang. It represents one shallow water rapid with pebbles to boulder size, aufwuchs-covered volcanic rocks in volcanic gravel sediment, with leaves and dislodged riparian vegetation. The inhabitants, gravel, rocks and aufwuchs have been collected at the described site of my BIN. They include 2 endemic species: Caridina variabilis spec.nov. and Scyopterus (Smilosicyopus fehlmanni).
