The Dutch were the acknowledged masters of landscape art, and Botanical inclinations could not lead to the fact that the aquarium has become like the garden of incomparable beauty. Following this direction, the Dutch use the entire surface of the bottom of the tank for growing aquatic plants, placing its design in minerals very small role. Among the flurry of vegetation usually have one, maximum two boulder or root. Aquariums of this type is very long and wide, and their height does not exceed 50 see the Predominant element in them is vegetation. Basic rule: to coat the bottom of the tank with the plants of different origin. As regards their distribution, the basic attention should be given to the size and color of plants. The fish species selected, based on their relationship to the selected algae. The origin of the fish can vary, but preference is given to members of the family Cyprinid.





GEOGRAPHIC AQUARIUM

This aquarium is also called regional biotic or special. The purpose of this aquarium: to recreate the environment in which you can live different sea creatures originating from the same area, first and foremost, of course, fish and some other marine animals, such as molluscs or arthropods.

The best area, which can inspire the creation of geographic aquarium is South-East Asia, where the majority of fish grown in captivity. This aquarium needs to be created tropical conditions, the water temperature should be maintained between 20 and 30 °C. In the aquarium you can recreate Asian rivers or streams with pebbles, fragments of wood and many plants. Lighting aquarium for these fish should not be strong, the bottom is obscured. Geographical area of interest is in South America. To equip the South American aquarium as Asian, reproducing the landscape of a stream, river or lake. Don't forget that the tank volume and chemical characteristics of the water to meet the needs of the fish, which, although they originate from South America, but can belong to absolutely different families.
