Indonesia, Belitung Regency, Kecamatan Sijuk
This Biotope Aquarium is my second creation, following the previous setup dedicated to Rasbora sp., Striuntius lateristriga, and Pristolepis grootii, inspired by the Aik Seruk tributary in Sijuk District, Belitung Island, Indonesia. However, this second biotope differs in focus. In addition to Rasbora sp., it highlights the keeping of Desmopuntius gemellus, Brevibora cheeya, and Rasbora einthovenii – all equally native species that inhabit the same river and are now drawing growing interest from aquarists around the world.
Through this competition, I hope my work can serve as a useful reference for fellow fish enthusiasts, offering insight into the natural habitats of these species. In this Biotope Aquarium, I have designed additional crevices to provide nesting spaces while minimizing sharp or hazardous elements. I also ensured a spacious, open area in the center of the tank for swimming and feeding, all while carefully replicating the natural conditions of their native environment.
