#76: 159L Biotope Aquascape Latino Fusion

Loh Koah Fong Singapore, Singapore

Comments

Narrowing down the species to use for any type of biotope from S. America can be hard with all the choices available. It is a necessary step to creating an accurate biotope however. The aquascape is pleasing to look at and must be a source of joy for the aquarist.

Biotype aquariums can be tricky but this layout does a good job of trying to hit the mark.
— Ricky Cain
It is a nice Amazon biotope aquarium. It could have looked better if smaller leaf plans were used. More driftwood should have been used in order to give an accent.
— Takashi Amano
This is another tank that while attractive is a geographic theme tank rather than representative of a real biotope.
