White Cloud Mountain Minnow Bio-Tope

[BettaHomesAndGardens]

So I know it isn’t perfect and it isn’t 100% complete yet but I set up a White Cloud Biotope and I think it’s coming along pretty nice. Just finally added the fish today and I’m pretty excited. I don’t want to plant to heavily but if anyone knows of some native Chinese aquatic plants that would go nicely suggestions are appreciated!

Not necessarily native to China, but I think some sparse plantings of microsword would look lovely in your tank.  Love all the rock - definitely a key look for that Biotope.  Please post a pic when it is completed, and good work so far!

This database gives a rather detailed description of what locations the fish are caught and in some cases plants are mentioned. Here is a link to the writeup on the White Cloud Mountain Minnow. It states:

plant species included Blyxa japonica, Rotala rotundifolia, Ludwigia prostrata, Ceratopteris thalictroides and Limnophila sp.

Awesome thank you so much!

Kind of a cool shot. I don’t leave the blue light on because of algae of course but it does create a cool effect.
