Support our project by purchasing the magazine with the 50 best biotope aquariums in the world! Dimensions: 100х40х50 cm List of fishes: Gasteropelecus sternicla (5x), Pyrrhulina cf. brevis (1m 2f)), Hyphessobrycon bentosi (3m 4f), Pterophyllum cf. scalare (Peruvian form, 2m 2f), Apistogramma barlowi (1m 1f), Otocinclus macrospilus (6x), Corydoras trilineatus (6x), Tatia intermedia (2x), Macrobrachium sp. (3x). List of plants: Hydrocotyle leucocephala, Limnobium laevigatum, Lemna minor (cosmopolitan). Description of equipment: The filtration was performed by Aquael Turbo Filter 1500. In addition, riparian plants and “flowing meadow” of water-surface plants (which I normally maintain even in larger amounts than was shown here) provide phytofiltration, giving the system stability even in presence of significant amounts of plant debris on the bottom. Biodesign LED lighter (17,5W, 6500K) and 100W heater are used as well. Aquael FZN3 filter was used to enhance water flow in the “Wet season” part of video. Water parameters: Temperature is 24-26C, conductivity is about 40 ppm, pH is about 5,5.
