SEA Biotope
I'm thinking about making my 20 gallon a Southeast Asian biotope aquarium. I've thought about this for a little, and I'm still not sure, so I've decided to get some advice. I've looked over this a lot, and found plenty of plant species that could be viable, such as Crypts, Java moss, Java Fern, among others that are native to SEA. I was thinking about SUDO Bottom Sand for substrate, heavily planted towards the back, and perhaps a piece or two of bogwood with the tannis soaked out of it? Not really looking for tinted water. As for stocking, I'm still looking into it, but I have an outline. Thanks guys, and happy holidays!

No one knows anything about Southeast Asia? That's unlikely guys! Come on! I need your opinions!

Sounds fun! I understand SEA would be blackwater fish; danios, rasboras, clown loach, gourami, to name a few. Amazon has a book on SEA tropical fish that might be worth a look.

there are many of the species of plants and fish from SEA that i really like...i have , over the years , set up several biotopes...
i just don't think that a 20 is big enough to do it right..

I've seen it done in a 10, but that's beside the point. My parents got me a bowfront stand by mistake, but thinking of a 36 gal bowfront. Would this work, or still too small.This is as big as my budget will allow.

You're in luck on that front. Lots of SEA fish just so happen to be the teeny-tiny ones that look very cool, like Celestial Pearl Danios and Microrasboas.
