fine white sand and hard rocks
large pieces of driftwood
fish are 6 adult zebra angels,8 cories 8 rummy nose and 12 denasonii
let me know what you all think
also would like to mention this is not the final product.will add led lights,change the stones to rough river perbbles,and ultimately will add discus to this.i have 12 blue diamonds growing out in another tank.

A nice tank.
But it is not a biotope tank. Denasonii is not from Amazon. It is a native Indian fish. :adore

nice tank buddy,but it's not a biotope tank.not only danisonii,but you have blue diamond discus which is tank breed.if you keep wild caught or f1 discus then it's close to that...

Thank u all for the comments both positive and negative :)
the danasonii well yes are out of place but i really like them.they require long tanks and i have never had a chance to keep them before.i will be changing and adding a few tanks so they will be moved out of here when the time comes.At the moment they add some lovely color to the tank.
if you see it as a pure biotope then yes there are a lot of things wrong with it.even the rocks are not biotope,though i have changed them to pebbles just yesterday.
getting wild caught discus in india is a task,so am lucky to have some amazing blue diamonds growing out.of course my first choice would be some browns or alenquers and will swap down the line.

i'm not a big fan of biotype aquarium and as long as the fish don't look out of place and require same the parameters i don't hesitate in adding them.and if you are not obsessed with biotype tanks this tank looks perfect :clap
