Comments

This biotope has a soft spot in my heart because it is one of the very first biotope tanks I ever did personally. However it is my understanding that these fish come from areas of running water and while all the"pieces" are right in your tank the "depiction" is more of a quiet pond. This comes from lack of directionality of your materials and also the us of the extreme wide angle lens. That said your tank still brings a smile to my face!

Underwater landscape of the biotope: I've been to Guangdong provice for twice , but I never find the Tanichthys albonubes in the wild! while in some plce used to visit these beautiful little fishes, there
is almost no aqua plants but alge. Trees and grasses are dense around the water,so the sunlight is very poor in the water,on the bottom of the water,there lie some fallen leaves and braches form the trees around. And lots of litlle snails scatter shut in the water. And on the bottom there are alot of river stones and pebbles, river sand in light color.

The parameters: the PH of this tank is 6.8, GH is 3, and tds is 85, kh is 5
