Rio Orinoco Biotope


Okotoks

Recommended Posts

I have been cycling a 33 gallon tank for about 3 weeks now with no plants and only 6 neon tetras in it right now. I was thinking of making it onto a nearly pure Orinoco river biotope, but I am unsure of what plant species and even what livestock would look good. Any suggestions?

Flora: Amazon Sword, Pygmy Chain Sword, Vals, Cabomba, Anacharis

Fauna: Neon/Rummynose Tetras, pair of German Blue Rams, school of Bronze or Pygmy Corys

Do a sand bottom and fill it out with some driftwood, possibly a couple of almond leaves to give it that river-y color as well as a spot for Cory fry to seek cover and feed.
