Mexico, Hidalgo, Coacuilco
This aquarium was inspired by the biotope of the Coacuilco River, which is located in the state of Hidalgo, Mexico. I tried to emulate the main parts of the river by using the rounded river rocks, and some fast flowing filter so the fish can swim againts the current.
I only use one type of fish wich is Xiphophorus birchmanni, because I consider that it is the most endangered species in that enviroment. So there is an urge and neccesity to show to the people this beatufil poecilid so everybody can breed them and consider the possibility of keeping them in the hobby and slow the pressure in its habitat.
