Biotope Aquarium

A biotope aquarium contains fish and plants that live together in the same place in nature. It replicates the habitat, water parameters, and materials found there, like wood, sand, and leaves, and is decorated to look as it would look if you were to snorkel underwater in that very place. Traditionally biotopes have been quite general like South American, Asian or African, although those three areas are so vast and so varied that you wouldn’t be able to class any South American tank as a biotope because South America stretches from northern Colombia and Venezuela to Southern Chile and Argentina and contains everything from cool hill streams to hot jungles, swamps and marches to deep lakes and mangroves.
