| The biotope that I made this time is the habitat of the Channa cyanospilos – snakehead, which are currently very hard to find in Indonesia. So it is considered very step and currently recorded in Indonesia, it can only be found in the Jambi swamps. Therefore I am interested in recreating this biotope, so that it can be a lesson for all of us. Because it is still rare to discuss the habitat of this fish on the Internet. | The biotope this time contains the fish Channa cyanospilos, Anabas testudineus, Dermogenys pusilla and Trichogaster – fishes that live in one habitat. And for the water plants Ceratophyllum submersum and on the surface Lemna minor and Pistia stratiotes. In the swamp there are many logs, tree branches and leaves. Water color – mixed water with slow flow, pH 7.0, temperature 27°C. |
