NotesThis aquarium represents a small forested stream flowing into the main channel of the Kapuas River within 10 km upstream from Sanggau. The stream is 2-4 meters wide and has a depth of 20-50 centimeters. The current is moderately swift, and the water appears clear with a slight brownish hue, maintaining a temperature of 25°C and a pH of 6.5. The streambed is composed of gravel or sand, with some large stones, branches, logs, and leaves. Additionally, various species of bucephalandras and cryptocorynes can be found thriving in this environment.
