Freshwater Aquariums

Freshwater Biotopes
Designed to restructure a specific habitat, biotope aquariums include plants and fish from a particular area of the world. The outcome is an aquarium that reflect the natural environment. One of the most well-liked example is the African Cichlid Aquarium, where hard water circumstances and the rocky sunken terrain of the African Rift Lakes are virtualized.
Physical Representation of a Particlar Environment
A Biotope is a region that has particular environmental conditions and a native population of plants and animals. A single stream or lake may include numerous biotopes.
For instance, a stony riffle in a stream may be one biotope while a nearby silt-bottomed pool on the same stream may be a different biotope.
On the other hand, the same biotope may occur in numerous streams in a region where all stony riffles or silt-bottomed pools support the same community of plants and animals.
Biotope Aquariums are intended to be a representation of a specific aquatic system or place. These tanks may represent a black water river from South America, an African lake or, an Asian stream. Plants, substrate and other decorations are chosen to represent those elements found in the natural environment.

The use of CO2 for maximum plant growth is a major component in these types of aquariums. These aquariums are lush. These aquariums are carefully planned. Drawings are often used to layout the tank planting arrangement before it's planted. Classic schools of thought in art architecture are incorporated into the designs. As much care is taken in tending these tanks once they're planted. They need a lot of pruning and care. Specialized tools, often improvised, are used to help tend these underwater gardens.

These aquaria tend to look very natural and are worth the effort !
"Just say yes! You Can Do It!"
There are many good reasons for setting up an aquarium that tries to simulate the natural habitat of fishes. The foremost is probably from an ecological viewpoint. With the destruction of the tropical rain-forests worldwide it is important to preserve the native surroundings of our fish before they disappear forever.
Another reason is just for the challenge. Most of us at one time or another get bored and start to look for something new, why not try a Biotope? There is already a growing following in the "mini reef" field with some specializing in specific sections of reefs. We can do the same with fresh water!
