Australian Biotopes

ANGFA member Jason Sulda runs the YouTube channel Australian Biotopes, where he builds and documents strikingly detailed, naturalistic aquarium biotopes recreating the habitats of Australian and New Guinean native fishes. His eye for detail is exceptional — from the placement of leaf litter and driftwood down to the light and water conditions of the wild habitats he's recreating — and his videography is some of the best the hobby has to offer. If you want to see what a truly considered, well-researched biotope looks like, or just want to enjoy some beautifully shot aquarium video, his channel is well worth a visit and a subscribe.
