The biotope I recreated this time is a mountain stream in the Pandaan area, Pasuruan, East Java. Although this is a small stream, the current tends to be very fast, which is the habitat of such a fast-swimming fish as Barbodes binotatus, Mystacoleucus obtusirostris and others. GPS	-7.6673112, 112.6859360.
This river interested me also because it is the habitat of a very beautiful Rhinogobius sp. which looks like Rhinogobius similis. This fish is still often found in some regions of East Java, such as in Mojokerto, where mountain streams always have this fish.	Hopefully this biotope aquarium will inspire others to recreate a habitat for Rhinogobius sp. fish in the aquarium.
I used river stones taken directly from the location, and added roots and branches like in the natural habitat. For the aquarium background I used river art print paper. I put the aquarium lights in a position that can make a light effect like when diving in a river.	I make enough room for the fish to swim and feed. I also make cracks for the spawning places of all the fish in the aquarium (can be seen in the video). I keep the water temperature low at 22-26°C.
Water care : 20% water change once a week.	Vidio : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CP3XE6FZLbWPmBCQ859H8DTOxKl1WeZN/view?usp=drive_link
