Inspiration for Biotope Designs
Amazon Blackwater Stream
Recreate the magic of the Amazon’s tannin-rich waters with Alder Pods, Dew Pods, and Luffa Sponge. Enhance the scene with driftwood, floating plants, and WIO’s Bumblebee stone. For the substrate, use Eonian Black or Brown to achieve the soft, dark tones of this unique ecosystem.
African River Biotope
Mimic Africa’s flowing rivers with African Pine and Bael Pods paired with WIO’s Elderly Boulders for natural rock formations. Complete the scene with hardy plants like Anubias and Elrderly gravel to recreate the riverbed’s authentic texture.
Southeast Asian Jungle Stream
Use Bakuli Pods, Belugm Pods, and Cotton Pods with leaf litter and tangled roots to evoke the lush biodiversity of Southeast Asia. Combine with WIO’s Jade Boulder and Jade Nano Boulder and mix with Heaven Sand a warm, inviting base that complements the dense jungle atmosphere.
Temperate Forest Edge
Bring the serene beauty of cooler forests into your tank with Douglas Fir Pods and Pine Mini. Pair them with WIO’s Black Venom Stone for a rugged, natural look. Add Cushion Moss and Black Accents to enhance the temperate forest aesthetic.
