Hi everyone, I am a bitope maniac living in Ukraine, interested in any kind of beautiful and real nature biotopes. My favourites are Rio Negro blackwaters inhabited by apistogrammas and European temperate lakes (yes, common perches are a real challenge and true pleasure to keep!) I am in a constant state of experimenting: how to make blackwater without expensive botanicals, how to keep Venezuelan laguna without filters and air pumps, how to organize phyto filtration, grow beautiful and healthy plants and save money on unnecessary equipment. Nature is fascinating, biotope aquaria are easy and fun, they help mankind to preserve species of fishes and plants, endangered in their natural habitats. Join me in my adventures, contribute to new exclusive experience and get all the info directly from the “battlefield”!
