Creek in Pandaan Pasuruan, East Java, Indonesia
Indonesia, East Java, Bakalan, Durensewu, Pandaan, Pasuruan Regency
The biotope I recreated this time is a mountain stream in the Pandaan area, Pasuruan, East Java. Although this is a small stream, the current tends to be very fast, which is the habitat of such a fast-swimming fish as Barbodes binotatus, Mystacoleucus obtusirostris and others.
This river interested me also because it is the habitat of a very beautiful Rhinogobius sp. which looks like Rhinogobius similis. This fish is still often found in some regions of East Java, such as in Mojokerto, where mountain streams always have this fish.
Hopefully this biotope aquarium will inspire others to recreate a habitat for Rhinogobius sp. fish in the aquarium.

Pandaan is a highland area in East Java. Main occupations in the area are farming, gardening, livestock. This area is known for its natural attractions, such as waterfalls, agro-business and others.
- Underwater landscape
Pandaan Creek is a stream flowing from the mountains in Pandaan, where the water is used by local residents to irrigate gardens, fish farms and others. In this river are found Rhinogobius sp, Barbodes binotatus, Mystacoleucus obtusirostris and others.
This river is full of stones, roots and wood. The water is fast flowing, clear and when it rains it becomes cloudy.
Fish:
- Barbodes binotatus (Cyprinidae)
- Mystacoleucus marginatus (Cyprinidae)
- Rhinogobius sp. (Oxudercidae)
- Threats to ecology
The natural beauty inspired the author to recreate the biotope aquarium as close as possible to its natural environment.
