Additional Information This aquarium was inspired by the cristal clear waters of the Mixteco River in the area of the town of Camotlan part of the City of Huajuapan de Leon, Oaxaca in Mexico. After the season of the heavy rains of August, by September the river is shaped with pebble bottom brownish colour of substrate, decorated by lots of driftwood that has been throwed in by the powerful currents created by heavy rains of past months, this is the home for several of Astyanax mexicanus and two species of Notropis (moralesi and boucardi). These fishes feed on the aquatic moss that grows in some sections of the underwater roots of great cypress trees that grow around the river, mostly Fissidens sp. and other type of algae.
