Thoughts on Biotopes?

Hi, all I'm just wondering what everyone else thinks of biotopes?

I personally love them.

I've had biotopes for White clouds, and my current Macleay River Turtle tank is a biotope as well.

Agreed! I am all about the Biotopes. In fact, I’m in the process of building a biotope gallery fish room. Half the fun is researching the environments and finding the fish, plants, substrate, etc of that special part of a river, lake or stream.

Do you find a better understanding/appreciation for the regions you research? Or strictly fish and river way info?

Hi Opie,

Yes, for sure! I find that as I am researching and gathering information about a specific region or body of water I certainly end up learning about the history, people, plants and animals of that area of the world.

Hi Colu,

Yes, I have that book as well. Tons of great information!

Hi Brandon p,

Agreed, I think botanical aquariums of all kinds are fascinating. I am developing a South American biotope now. It is of the upper Solimoes (Amazon) River in Peru. This particular part of the river is considered 'whitewater' because of the muddy coloration from all the sediment washed down river from the Andes Mountains.
