Indonesia, Central Java, Ambarawa, Sumurup
This biotope recreates the ecosystem of Rawa Pening Lake, featuring a sand-based substrate that reflects the natural texture of the environment. Within this habitat, both flora and fauna thrive.
The primary plant species is umbrella grass (Cyperus alternifolius), characterized by its long stems and dangling roots. The fauna includes freshwater needlefish (Dermogenys pusilla), tinheads (Aplocheilus panchax), swamp bettas (Trichopsis vittata), and humpback shrimp.
The roots of the umbrella grass provide essential shelter for small fish, protecting them from natural predators. This plant typically grows in moist, slightly waterlogged soils, making it well suited to this biotope.
