Comments

This is a very attractive biotope and your materials are of course accurate. However the very regimented use of the Myriophyllum along the back while pretty does not look natural. I wish you had allowed these to grow out longer and taken your photos a little later!

Materials All the materials used in my aquarium come from nature. To restore wild habitat in the most realistic way, I use stones and gravel from habitat, which is critical to achieving water quality parameters that match the original habitat. I simulated the riverbank effect on the left side of the aquarium with a large stone and planted Phragmites australis on it. With the growth of reeds, their roots and leaves fall in the water, forming a beautiful scenery.
