Brazil, Amazonas
I made a biotope aquarium in 300L taking examples of references to several models of footage from the videos by Project Piaba.
I bought some material from a fish shop. My aquarium consists of a series of santigi wood using details of several roots and botanical materials such as dry leaves and bark.
I use 3 Atman canister filters and each first filter starts from a mechanical bio foam filter.
The filter second is full of Neo Media Soft.
The last one is full of Mayin Rugby Media Bio.
With each canister filter supported by a 1500l/h pump.
I feed it every morning once a day and feed it once a week to reset the fish’s body metabolism. I also use a timer for the aquarium lights to schedule morning/evening to imitate the natural habitat.
Fishlist:
I change the aquarium water every week by 20%. and every time I change the water I add bio vitamins and bacterial starter.
Roberto E. Reis: Fish selected can indeed coexist for long time – at least one species that appears in the video is not in the list (Corydoras) and the Carnegiella that apears in video is probably C. marthae, not C. strigata; aquarium size is good for the (large) selected fish. Aquarium is well decorated with roots, driftwood and leaves, but plants are missing. Despite that, the aquarium is beutifully composed. The details, equipments and chemicals used are properly described. Good visual support, with one video and one photo.
Pablo C. Lehmann: The species Symphysodon aequifasciatus is located in the great Amazon biotope, inhabiting calm and shallow white waters, which are also warm and have acidic characteristics. The characteristic species of the biotope would be Symphysodon discus. In general terms, the aquarium is beautiful and reflects the natural biotope well.
