In this video I show African biotope aquarium, arranged by Svetlana Kirillova (Russia) for the final of Biotope Aquarium Design Contest 2014 (held during ZooSphere 2014 in Saint Petersburg, Russia). This aquarium took the 2nd place in the contest.
Description of the biotope (as written on the information plate):
Nun River is the longest (160 km) continuation of the Niger River. The Nun river begins near the village of Aboh, where the Niger River splits in two, forming Nun and Forcados, flows through the rainforest, swamps and mangroves, and empties into the Gulf of Guinea. Flooding from monsoon rains lasts from June to September, then the water level drops, and in February, with the arrival of the flood waters from the Niger River, it rises again. Forest rivers and streams of the Nun River basin are home to many species of fish and other aquatic organisms. Although oil production causes serious damage to the local nature, yet in clean rivers significant biodiversity can be found. Mainly semi-aquatic plants grow in places where sun can reach the earth surface enough through the trees.
Animals list:
Gnathonemus petersii, Hymenochirus boettgeri, Pantodon buchholzi, Pelvicachromis pulcher, Chromaphyosemion bitaeniatum.
Plants list:
Anubias barteri ver. angustifolia (cf. afzelii), Bolbitis heudelotii, Ceratopteris thalictroides, Nymphaea lotus
