Description:
After a long period learning about aquascaping with planted tanks, under the style of Nature Aquarium, I'm now interested in simulating natural habitats with fish and plants from the same geographical area.
Biotopes kept:
West African Biotope |||
French Guyana biotope
Advice:
Plan carefully before buying the first tank.
Don't start with livebearers, or you'll end up with tens of them, leaving no space for future aquisitions.
It's better to underfeed, than overfeed.
You should have a smaller spare tank to use as an hospital or quarantine aquarium

Setting up a new aquarium is an exercise in restraint that many hobbyists, both beginners and seasoned veterans, find difficult to master.
For decades, the gold standard of the home aquarium was a pristine, crystal-clear box of water, often decorated with neon gravel and plastic plants that bore little resemblance to the wild.
Bringing a slice of the underwater world into your home is a rewarding experience, but as the hobby grows, so does our responsibility to ensure that our passion doesn’t come at the expense of the environments we admire.
