I Created A Natural Ecosystem River Aquarium With Rare Stream Fish - A 3 Month Evolution

I've always wanted to try making a river aquarium and finally I made one!
Key design aspects: long tank, Intake and outlet on opposite sides, and use an external pump if your filter just didn't cut it.
The fish I added are now some of my absolute favorites: Bamboo Shrimp & The Hillstream Loach.
Let me know what you thought of it!
Hope you enjoyed,
-Bryan

    The monstera will work. Same with photos, bamboo, philodendron(i think is monstera), peace lilly. Etc etc. I have 1 tank that has all of these on top. Growing for 6 years right now. Its a mental green bush on top.

    That looks like a raphidaphora tetresperma you added in there rather than a monstera. It'll actually work great in there, but you might want to make sure at least one node is above the water. They're vining plants, and will lose their fenistration if it isn't growing vertically/gripping on to something. This is like the most beautiful nano tank I've seen. For real I'd pay someone to scape my tank like this if I had the time for a tiger pleco

    The bigger stones I had to get from a local fish tank store because those are the specific colors I was looking for, but some of the smaller ones I picked up outside. I know some people will go to landscaping businesses and get their stones there for better prices though

    Be careful if you add other fish to the tank. The hillstream loaches can be pretty aggressive when there is food around and mine have made 4 of my fish jump out of the tank :(. So now I have a lid on. Very cool tank, I like it a lot!
