Paraiba Encantada

A small aquarium layout featuring Paraiba Encantada, 58.8 L, by Cliverton Da Silva. Seiryu rock and dragon wood set the depth lines of the frame.

Read the stone and wood (Seiryu rock, dragon wood) as visual pathways before judging the plant mass. The plant list (Anubias sp., Bucephalandra sp., Hemianthus micranthemoides, Hemianthus callitrichoides) favors slow-growing epiphytes; packing the foreground too dense can make the tank feel heavy. Power soil substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Chihiros serie A 601 plus lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this small aquarium. Classic 2213 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.

With Hyphessobrycon amandae, Paracheirodons simulans, Carinotetraodon travancoricus, watch bioload: a small aquarium drifts quickly if stocking is heavy.

Use the specs table as a shopping checklist for equivalent gear — then explore 55–80L.
