76L Biotope/Natural Aquaria Sri-Lanka Highland Stream Biotope.

Phil Edwards · United States

This 缸体 receives daily doses of PMDD; .5 ml KNO3 solution and .25 ml of trace element solution. I've got the 过滤 setup to be continually amending the 底床 with the wastes in the 缸体 as well to provide the rich 底床 which the crypts need. This aquarium is a biotope of a highland tributary of the Mahaweli River near the city of Kandy, Sri Lanka. The effect I was trying to recreate was that of a shallow streamlet cutting through the rainforest. Fitting in with that theme I chose the Cherry Barbs and Mountain Loaches as they are both less obtrusive and more peaceful than the Black Ruby Barbs which are also native to that area. The aquascape was designed to ultimately allow the large 植物 to grow up and shade the lower portions of the 缸体 while giving room for the short 植物 to overgrow the 底床, especially the front/center portions. The two species are starting to blend boundaries very nicely at this point with runners poking up in sections previously established for/by the other species.
