Hi guys ,welcome back to a another video. this video is upon the making of a biotope inspired from the pamba river basin from southern Kerala .This biotope was made ...by taking inspiration from the confluence of pamba river and vembanad Lake
At the beginning it got some pea puffers (carinotetradon travancoricus) but later due to some carelessness the tank gone under a rescaping and the livestock was changed . Currently the biotope is bioactive by Indian grass carplet (Horadandia Brittani) which is found in the same type of locality .
I hope you might learn something new in this video and how to create a biotope as close to nature and give the fishes a natural environment to thrive in . Making a biotope is only bringing a piece of a pond ,Lake ,river and ocean in a glass box or at your home .Making a biotope as close to nature not only gives the fish a natural place to live in but a sense of satisfaction and pleasure who had made that biotope So, till then see you in the next video ......bye.....

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

Biotope Aquarium Design Contest 2016
http://biotope-aquarium.info/badc-2016/
The aquarium was set up based on a biotope of Dibru River of Dibrugarh in Assam. Dibru river is a main tributary of the Brahamputra the ...confluence of it being at about 18km east of Dibrugarh City. Like any other parts of Assam, the area is endowed with extensive water resources. The district possesses a large number of wetlands of varying sizes. The area has a ‘tropical monsoon rainforest’ climate characterised by heavy rainfall, high humidity and hot summer temperatures. The biotope shown is the place almost authenticly copied from the one where the beautiful Channa bleheri lives, which Heiko Bleher have discovered many years ago.. The water is mostly clear, but after a heavy rain all is turbid. The habitat consists of many leaves , branches ,roots,logs and aquatic vegetation mostly Cryptocoryne species, Hydrophila species and floating plants mainly Pistia stratiotes. The gravel is with black and white stones in some areas. At this region we can find also many fish species such as botia , mystus, noemacheilus,barbs , Bagarius and other catfishes.
Fishes: Channa Bleheri , Penthia Ticto, Botia Histrionica
Plants: Cryptocoryne spiralis, Cryptocoryne wendtii, Cryptocoryne undulata, Hydrophila angustifolia, Pistia stratiotesShow More

The habitat I want to describe is of Periyar River, which is the longest river and the river with the largest discharge potential in the Indian state of Kerala. It ...is one of the few perennial rivers in the region and provides drinking water for several major towns. The Periyar is of outmost significance to the economy of Kerala.
The Periyar basin spreads over an area of 5,398 km² (2,084 sq mi), most of it in central Kerala. It is a freshwater with high level of pollutants. The pH ranges from to 5.72-8.74 in different locations.
It is an important destination for tourism. The banks are rich with coconut trees and moreover it has the National Park of which the Tiger Reserve Project is an important landmark. Forests are growing on white sands and soil, the Periyar is silty with river basin sands. The river bed is full of algae and coconut leaves.
There are many fishes found in the genera of Hypselobarbus, Puntius, Barilius, Garra, Bhavania, Travancoria, Schistura, etc.

BIOTOPE IN NATURE: This biotope represents a local creek in Vasai city, Palghar, distr. Maharashtra – India. Vasai Creek (or Bassein Creek) is an estuarine creek, one of the two ...main emissaries of the Ulhas River in Konkan division of Maharashtra state of western India. The Ulhas splits at the northeast corner of Salsette Island into its two main emissaries, Vasai Creek and Thane Creek. Vasai Creek marks the northern border of Salsette Island, and empties west into the Arabian Sea. Thane creek empties southwards into Bombay Harbour.
The fish added to the biotope are Puntius sanctus. This is a silver-hued fish, small in size. It grows to a length of 7 cm. The biotope is made of driftwood, soil, sand and a list mixture found in the water body. Plants are floating water latus and water hyacinth. There also are palm leaves and almond leaves found near the creek which makes the creek water dark. Water quality is murky during rainy season due to soil deposit.

#BAC2023 Thamirabarani River, Western Ghats, Tamil Nadu, India. By Kuntal Dey
BIOTOPE IN NATURE: The River Thamirabarani – also known as Tamraparni ...
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.
