    no, this is actually a bad example of a biotope. biotope of the wild have plants randomly strewn across the tank. i wanted mine to look nice, kind of like a Dutch tank, so i made it neat. the plants are all native to South America, but i ddoubt all can be found in the region of my tank, the South American Llanos plains laguna in Colombia and Venezuela. this swamp land is an Orinoco river run-off.

    well, i am probably going to set up a 2nd tank as well. the other tank will be a 10" cube for shrimp breeding. it will be low-light breeding tiger shrimp. the reason for this tank is to set up a constant flow of money, aka the sales of shrimp :cool:

    Who do/will you sell the shrimp to ? How much do you think you can earn from them ?

    Very pretty, I especially like the way picture #2 looks, looking down on it from above. How long do you expect the moss wall to take to grow in? What kind of moss are you using?

    well, i am not sure if the wall is possible, can seem to find the large amount i need. and under good conditions, moss walls grow quite quick, 2-3 weeks to fill in most of it. i hopefully will/will use X-mas moss. very nice plant.
