Un biotope aquarium It is one in which we recreate an ecosystem so that both fish and plants and invertebrates can grow. It also represents a set of species from very different habitats from each other.
May create different systems. There are different biotopes and recreating the ideal habitat depends on each hobbyist. For amateurs it would be a good start to a primordial species that they want to keep and, later, other fish that coexist in the same region or habitat.
To make a biotype aquarium you need information. Once the type is chosen, you simply have to recreate it with the same original conditions. That is, always as closely as possible to the environment that the fish and plants of a certain area or habitat belong to.
Main aquarium biotope
Amazonian. It is one of the most popular. Its main characteristic is the number of plants that make up the aquarium. Very beautiful plants like the Echinodorus. Dwarf cichlids and discus fish are the most suitable. But also corydoras, pencils, tetras and algae eats.
This type of aquarium is characterized by having soft waters, with a pH equal to or less than 6.8, decorated with trunks that provide tannins and that give the aquarium that yellowish appearance.
Asian aquarium. Its main characteristic is that it has many plants and fish. Plants such as ferns recreate the habitat of this type of biotope. Fish such as barbels, all rasboras, trichos, colisa lalia, bettas, the danios, the botias, the kuhli, etc. They are the ideal ones to populate the Asian aquarium.
Mangrove Aquarium. This type of habitat, also Asian, is native to the Mangrove roots. From these areas are fish such as the Archer, Scatofagus argus, Puffer fish and the fanf leaping. To achieve a landscape similar to the natural one, intertwined trunks or roots that simulate mangroves should be used. Water is slightly alkaline with a pH greater than 7 and hard.
