In this video I show winning biotope aquarium, designed by Petra Bašić from Croatia. It was aquarium number 4 - so the large green "4" on the description plate is not the place the aquarium took, but just the number. Aquarium imitates fragment of Chalakudy river in Western Ghats mountain range in India. There were several features which I liked, or which were interesting for me in this aquarium. The first, and maybe the most important (at least for me) feature were fish in wonderful, prime condition. They were healthy, well fed, and they behaved in a very natural way. The second feature was the placement of rocks - very natural-looking, imitating rocky fragment of a stream. It looked just like a pile of stones, but it had some aesthetic feel behind it, as well. Skillfully done! 🙂 The third feature was the substrate - please pay attention to all these little details. The basis is sand, but there is also gravel, and some small pebbles, scattered around. It looks both chaotic and very attractive, exactly as it looks in the wild. And finally, the fourth feature which was interesting for me was this strange "moss", scattered all over the rocks and substrate. It imitates clumps of algae and moss, which grow often on the stones on the bottom of streams. I'm not sure what is the species of this "moss" - it might be Cladophora, splitted into flat fragments, but I'm not sure about it 🙂

And now the text from the information plate:

Western Ghats - Chalakudy river

BIOTOPE DESCRIPTION: One of numerous tributaries of Chalakudy River, in forests of Athirappilly. Chalakudy River is the fourth longest river in Kerala, India. It is well known for its fish diversity and thick riparian forests. Rivers in Western Ghats are rain-fed and seasonal, so many habitats undergo changes in depth, temperature, water chemistry, turbidity and flow rate, depending on the time of year. Some fish, like melon barb (Haludaria fasciata), prefer shallow and quiet zones with submerged cover in the form of aquatic vegetation and leaf litter. Where riparian vegetation is absent, river bed is covered with rocks and yellowish sand.

ANIMALS LIST: Barbus fasciatus, Danio malabaricus, Mastacembelus pancalus.

PLANTS LIST: Hygrophila difformis, Bacopa monnieri, Eleocharis accicularis, Hygrophila involuta, Hygrophila pinnatifida, Myriophyllum tuberculatum, Hygrophila polyspermaShow More

Since I bought my first second-hand aquarium when I was twelve, I have always had one or more aquariums. I even converted a garage into a breeding room where I had 50 aquariums containing around 10,000 liters of water. At the moment, I have two aquariums: a 1,250-liter Tanganyika aquarium and a 250-liter community aquarium with plants. For the past 10 years, I have been working on this website as a writer and photographer.
