Biotope Aquariums – Orinoco River Basin
This playlist takes you into the beautiful underwater world of the Orinoco River Basin, one of the most biodiversity-rich regions in the world. The videos show aquariums carefully arranged to reflect the natural habitat of the region’s fish and plants. From the quiet tributaries to the plant-covered banks, each aquarium tells a story about the Orinoco’s unique ecosystem.
The videos show iconic fish such as cichlids, tetras and catfish living together in harmony, surrounded by authentic elements such as root wood, leaves and aquatic plants. Each aquarium is a work of art in itself and shows how to create a true-to-life Orinoco biotope in your own aquarium. For both novice and experienced aquarists, this playlist offers valuable tips and inspiration to get started on your own.
In addition, you will learn more about the unique ecology and biodiversity of the Orinoco River Basin, which will not only deepen your hobby, but also give you a better understanding of the importance of conservation. Be inspired by the serene beauty of the Orinoco and discover how you can bring this magical world into your home!

Dimensions: 65x40x45 cm
List of fishes: Hemigrammus rhodostomus
List of plants: No plants were purposely grown in this tank as no plants are present underwater in the habitat. However, plants do tend ...to grow along the banks of the creek and send roots into the creeks. In this aquarium, the root system of a Spathiphyllum sp. was used in order to mimic the root system that was present in the video I used for inspiration of this design.
Description of decorations: First, a structure of lava rock and driftwood was used to built and covered with foam to build up the slope and provide depth. Additionally, the lava rock, with some flow pushed into the structure, should provide porous areas for beneficial bacteria to develop. Next, the foam was covered with a mixture of crushed ADA Amazonia, pool sand, and crushed leaves. A layer of various leaves procured from Tannin Aquatics was then placed along the slope. Multiple small twigs from driftwood was interspersed amongst the leaves. A large driftwood structure was assembled to resemble the same feature in my inspiration video. A layer of sand was placed in front of this structure. Finally, a few seed pods (also from Tannin Aquatics) and twigs were placed into the sand.
Description of equipment: Aquavas Sun LED light system, with only one bank of lights in use. Finnex FugeRay Planted+ Cliplight; used to provide slight backlighting, Eheim 350 Surface Skimmer, Eheim Jager 100 Watt Aquarium Heater, Aquaclear 20 HOB filter

Self-critic: I know that these are not the plants which ...are in the natural habitat. I made some mistakes in plantings at the beginning, and I will change that into 100% Ludwigia plantings. But at the moment I do not want to stress my Piranhas with new plantings and workings in the aquarium because it seems that they are starting with the breeding mode – a bigger one is a little bit more aggressive and I saw a whole in the substrate. So as soon as possible I will change the plants, but not now at the moment. With the very big Anubias sitting on the top of the roots which are hanging into the water, I tried to imitate leaves on wood. The Piranhas seem to like the shadow very much.Show More

#BAC2022 – Flooded forest in the El Tuparro National Park, Rio Orinoco. By Péter Rózsahegyi
BIOTOPE IN NATURE: The El Tuparro National Park is the biggest river ...
BIOTOPE IN NATURE: The El Tuparro National Park is the biggest river catchment area to west of Rio Orinoco. The biggest part of it consist of flooded/non flooded savannas and ...as we head closer to the main stream the fooded forests are more typical.
The habitat that I want to introduce is next to the borderline of Venezuela and Colombia near Isla Santa Isabel. It is a flooded forest biotope, circa 200m far from the main branch of the Rio Orinoco.
I found a video from the 1990's, which tourned out to be my greatest motivitation to create my biotope aquarium. In this habitat several fish species can be found like Paracheirodon axelrodi, Axelrodia riesei, Hemigrammus rubrostriatus. And some cichlid species too, such as Dicrossus filamentosus and Aequidens metae. Specific submerged plant e.g. Najas guadalupensis. The substrate is not too visible because of the leaf litter, algae and mass of bacteria.
This palm tree Mauritia flexuosa is very important to the native warao indians.

BIOTOPE IN NATURE: Morichals are small rivers, streams or lagoons ...
BIOTOPE IN NATURE: Morichals are small rivers, streams or lagoons surrounded by moriche palms (Mauritia flexuosa) which is a palm that only grows and thrives where its roots can be ...underwater. Morichals is just the name given in Spanish to a large group of moriche palms. A good example of a morichal is in the Morichal Largo river in northeastern Venezuela. But you will generally find them all over the Venezuelan and Columbian low lands, but also in the savannah areas of the Amazon river basin.
This interesting ecosystem supports a rich variety of fish fauna both in the mainstream and in the small streams leading into the main Morichal. These palms get their water by digging their roots in the water, and so they are a natural filter to the water. That’s why these waters are always crystal clear.
But you will also find black water morichals, that’s because the leaves and other botanicals of the palms fall into the water and release tannins.

Altum Orinoco 8 months - Rio Orinoco biotope
I've added something on the bottom that gives my aquarium a much 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.
