Rio Minho (AGA 2024 #367)

A small aquarium layout featuring Rio Minho (AGA 2024 #367), 65 L, by Cleir Dubois. Driftwood and rock seryouh set the depth lines of the frame.

Hardscape (Driftwood and rock seryouh) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. On the plant side, the layout leans toward mosses and epiphytes with species such as Mosses, hemianthos, staurogyne. — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Neo soil substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

Weekaqua L600 pro lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this small aquarium. Oase 100 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. Low-tech tip: favor slow growers and avoid dense planting if filtration is modest.

With Rasbora arlequim, watch bioload: a small aquarium drifts quickly if stocking is heavy.
