Website of the Biotope Aquarium Design Contest 2014: all4aquarium.ru/en/events/jbl-biotope-contest-2014/final This aquarium took the 1st place in the final of Biotope Aquarium Design Contest 2014, organized during ZooSphere 2014 fair in St. Petersburg in Russia. The author is Petra Bašić from Croatia. Congratulations! :) Description of the biotope (as written on the information plate): Cape York peninsula is the largest unspoiled wild area in northern Austraila, and one of the last remaining ones on Earth. It has many swamplands with an extraordinary biodiveristy of flora and fauna. The Jardine Complex with Jardine River is the largest wetland on the peninsula. Pseudomugil gertrudae and Iriatherina werneri are found in small creeks, swampy marshes and rainforest streams with a lot of plants, woody debris, leaf litter and sandy or muddy bottom. Melanotaenia trifasciata occurs almost in every slow-moving water and clear river here. Dense vegetation protects these rainbowfishes from predators like Scleropages jardinii. This aquarium presents such a place, small refuge for rainbowfish in wetlands around river Jardine. Animals list: Iriatherina werneri, Melanotaenia trifasciata, Pseudomugil gertrudae Plants list: Hygrophila sp., Limnophila aromatica, Nymphaea sp., Riccardia chamedryfolia, Salvinia natans, Vallisneria nana.
