Mi Nuevo Proyecto de Aquascaping

Hoy empiezo una "Nueva" andadura dentro del Paisajismo Acuatico que tras una larga espera para poder ubicar y reunir el material necesario por fin ha llegado el momento. Puedo afirmar que sera mi primer proyecto serio dentro de este mundo en donde espero Equivocarme, Aprender y Conseguir el objetivo.

Inicio sin muchas pretensiones ya que lo principal sera reunir la experiencia en dar a las plantas los cuidados necesarios y aprender a usar las herramientas para su salubridad y darles el mejor aspecto posible, todo esto sin dejar a un lado el diseño del Hardscape, conocer el mejor uso del material y el aprovechamiento del espacio para un aspecto Natural al conjunto.

Para algunos quizas el echo de querer concursar pueda ser algo impensable o creer no estar preparados pero en mi caso, sabiendo mis limitaciones iniciales, pueda ser una manera de motivacion y una forma para exprimir esas ideas que tenemos en la cabeza para aumentar y alimentar las ganas por crecer y a su vez mostrar al mundo nuestra obra. Otro motivo, gracias a Internet, es compartir ese sentimiento con otras personas a traves de Grupos en Facebook o en Foros Especializados y desde aqui quisiera destacar la gran labor que Aquascaping Spain realiza para hacer mas cercano esta Aficion y que en parte gracias a sus miembros "Hoy" empiezo mi gran ilusion.

En proximas entradas os ire mostrando el equipamiento y sus especificaciones asi como contaros mi experiencia Verde.

JBL Biotope Aquarium Design Contest 2014. Finals

Let us present to you the final results of JBL Biotope Aquarium Design Contest 2014, which was held November 26-29 in St. Petersburg, at ZooSphere 2013 exhibition. Congratulations to the finalists with a high level of entries! We wish you good luck in the following contests. The Contest 2013 1st Place Petra Bašić (Zagreb, Croatia) Australia & Oceania. Burster Creek, Jardine River wetlands, Cape York, Queensland, Australia Prize: certificate for 650 Euro Biotope description: Cape York peninsula is the largest unspoiled wild area in northern Australia and one of the last remaining ones on Earth. It has many swamplands with an extraordinary biodiversity 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 place, small refuge for rainbowfish in wetlands around river Jardine. Fish list: Iriatherina werneri, Melanotaenia trifasciata, Pseudomugil gertrudae Plants list: Blyxa aubertii, Hygrophila corymbosa angustifolia, Limnophila aromatica, Nymphaea stellata, Riccardia chamedryfolia, Salvinia natans, Vallisneria nana 2nd Place + Audience Award Svetlana Kirillova (Saint Pertersburg, Russia) Africa. Slow flowing forest duct of the Nun River basin, in the north of Bayelsa State, Nigeria Prize: certificate for 550 Euro + 150 Euro (Audience Award) Biotope description: Nun River is the longest (160 km) continuation of the Niger River. The Nun River begins near the village of Aboh, where the Niger River splits in two, forming Nun and Forcados, flows through the rain forests, swamps and mangroves, and empties into the Gulf of Guinea. Flooding from monsoon rains lasts from June to September, then the water level drops, and in February, with the arrival of the flood waters from the Niger River, rises again. Forest rivers and streams of the Nun River basin are home to many species of fish and other aquatic organisms. Although oil production causes serious damage to the local nature, yet in clean rivers significant biodiversity can be found. Mainly semi-aquatic plants grow in places where sun can reach the earth surface through the trees. Fish list: Gnathonemus petersii, Hymenochirus boettgeri, Pantodon buchholzi, Pelvicachromis pulcher, Chromaphyosemion bitaeniatum Plants list: Anubias barteri angustifolia afzelii, Bolbitis heudelotii, Ceratopteris thalictroides, Crinum calamistratum 3rd Place  Víctor Manuel Ortiz Cruz (San Lorenzo Cacaotepec, Mexico) North America. Subbasin of Valle Nacional River, Oaxaca, Mexico Prize: certificate for 450 Euro Biotope description: Valle Nacional River feeds the Papaloapan River (the second largest in Mexico). The shown biotope is a bank stream on Atlantic slope. On its bottom there are grayish and slightly reddish oval rocks and sand sometimes covered with organic matter and leaves from trees and plants growing on banks. Submerged roots and branches provide food and shelter for the fry of Thorichthys ellioti, which often cohabit with Cichlasoma salvini and Poecilia sphenops. Near the banks there are more wood and leaves on the bottom, while rocks are predominant near the middle with no organic matter in the current. There is almost no aquatic plants here, only small patches of Eleocharis sp., Fontinalis and Fissidens mosses and riverine grass in some parts of the river. Fish list: Cichlasoma salvini, Thorichthys ellioti Plants list: Eleocharis parvula, Fissidens fontanus, Fontinalis sp. "Willow" Víctor's comment about the contest: The contest is an excellent opportunity to show the beauty of natural waterbodies to the world, but also it allows us to point out the problems we may face, as in the case of most rivers and streams in Mexico, where there is a great biodiversity, but often it is threatened. That's why the contest is a platform to promote environmental awareness among the aquarists. Personally I am very grateful to UNITEX, JBL and other sponsors that support and promote such events so that more people can participate. Thank you very much for the opportunity. I hope to participate next year. Greetings from Mexico. 4th Place Vyacheslav Veriga (Vladivostok, Russia) Eurasia. Tamnang River, Si Phang Nga national park, Province Phang Nga, Southern Thailand Prize: certificate for 350 Euro Biotope description: Tamnang River starts on the western slopes of the mountain range, flows through ancient rainforests and empties into the Andaman Sea. Typical decorations here are partly smooth stones, lots of live roots and driftwood. There are no aquatic plants here, except for the fern Microsorum pteropus, which often grows above the water because of the high humidity. Along with shallow rifts there are deep parts in the river where big barbel Neolissochilus lives. The river is home to smaller fishes: various carps, e.g., Puntius lateristriga, Puntius aurotaeniatus, and representatives of Devario species. They are good swimmers and do not avoid areas with a rapid current. Such place is shown in the aquarium. Fish list: Devario cf. aequipinnatus, Puntius lateristriga Plants list: Microsorum pteropus 5th Place Ivan Frank (Zagreb, Croatia) South America. Llullapichis River, province Huanuco, Peru Prize: certificate for 250 Euro Biotope description: Llullapichis (Yuyapichis) River is a 52 km long white water river starting in Cerro Sirra and ending in Pachitea River in Huanuco, Peru close to the western slopes of the Andes. Because of blackwater creeks, rifts and palm swamps its water is almost always murky. Its current vary from very fast to slow. River bottom consists of sand, rounded stones, roots, branches and leaf litter with different plants. Corydoras like sand the most and such is shown in the aquarium. Other species living here are Ancistrus sp., Carnegiella marthae, different Nannostomus, Otocinclus and Apistogramma sp., etc. On southern bank of the river there is a famous research station Panguana. Like almost all rivers of Ucayali system this one is in danger of pollution because of gold extraction and logging. Fish list: Corydoras panda, Prionobrama filigera, Rineloricaria sp. Plants list: Echinodorus quadricostatus "magdalenensis", Echinodorus parviflorus Tropica, Limnobium laevigatum, Myriophyllum mattogrossense, Pistia stratiotes Ivan's comment about the contest: Since I'm in this hobby I have always looked for natural look of my aquaria. When setting up my tank for Apistogramma I got introduced in setting up a biotope. Gathering information in the web, I found few books available and mostly contacted people who research and collect fishes. It is hard work, but very satisfying in the end. Making real a picture of natural environment in a tank and watching fish acting like in a real stream, river is just fascinating, and best reward you can get. BADC is getting bigger every year and its demands are higher. The jury of only finest and world known people in the hobby couldn't make any mistake. Getting invitation to the finals was a big surprise for me. It was great experience where I have learned a lot from other participants, and of course from judges. Organization was on top level and I would like to thank all the people involved in this competition in any way.
