  Biotope Aquariums
A biotope aquaria is an aquarium that is set-up to simulate a natural habitat.
The biotope aquarium can be adpated by adding species from disparate areas that have similar water requirements.
This rapid region is the inspiration for this biotope aquarium, although similar environments exist in other African rivers.

 Biotope Aquarium
A true biotope fish tank is a cross section of the exact environment and it's inhabitants.
In reality most biotope aquariums use a specific natural environment as a template from which an approximation is developed.
Let's face it, muddy water and leafy substrates might be elements of some biotopes, but hold little appeal for the home aquarium.

 The EnviroLink Network - Healing Biotope I Tamera
Tamera is a place for: a lively trust between humans and all creatures - research into the most fundamental of life's events - a non-violent technology - a loving reunion of the genders - a sensual joy free of fear and humiliation - re-locating human life within the laws of creation - global networking.
A Healing Biotope is also as self-sufficient as possible in the areas of nutrition, ecology, water, energy and medicine.
If a Healing Biotope such as this is successful, it can function like an acupuncture point for peace, healing Organism Earth and making it easier to establish similar centres and peace villages.

  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Biotope   (Site not responding. Last check: )
A biotope is an area of uniform environmental (physical) conditions providing habitat(s) for a specific assemblage of plants and animals.
The term "biotope" is also used in the aquarium fish hobby to describe an aquarium setup that tries to simulate the natural habitat of specific fishes.
A simple biotope would include plants and animals that are found in roughly the same geographic area and the same types of water.

 Explanation of biotope intolerance, recoverability and sensitivity assessments of Ampharete falcata turf with ...
Many species in the biotope are either infaunal or deposit feeders that are not expected to be intolerant of an increase in suspended sediment at the level of the benchmark.
Many species in the biotope are either infaunal or deposit feeders that are not expected to be intolerant of a decrease in suspended sediment at the benchmark level for a month.
Intolerance of the biotope is reported to be high because most species are not expected to be able to survive a long term increase in water flow rates.

 Explanation of biotope intolerance, recoverability and sensitivity assessments of Barren coarse sand shores (LGS.BarSnd)
Smothering by a sediment that is atypical for the biotope would alter the composition of the surface substratum but owing to the hydrodynamic regime and mobility of the substrata, atypical materials are likely to be readily dispersed and the biotope remain unaffected.
This is because the biotopes are found on open wave exposed coasts and the continual mobility of the substratum inhibits the development of a permanent community.
Recovery of this biotope is wholly dependent on the physical processes of the hydrodynamic regime which are location specific, but owing to the dynamic nature of the habitat recovery would be expected.

 Specimen of Secrecy About Marvelous Discoveries
The biotopes are a discrete ecology because within their world the microorganisms interact with and support each other (that is, the activities of one organism enable another to grow, and vice-versa).
The biotope is affected by several factors, including the very presence of viewers, which can increase the temperature in the room (warm bodies) and release other microorganisms in the air (breathing, sneezing).
Every time a biotope migrates from one location to another, the very act of transporting it causes an unpredictable redistribution of the microorganisms inside it (due to the constant physical agitation inherent in the course of a trip).

 References - Welcome Back, Thoreau: A Biotope Aquarium Primer
Coupled with advances in filtration, decor, and plastic plants, biotopic aquariums were set aside by the majority of hobbyists who favored the easier and more "colorful" community tanks.
Their appearance is often not very aesthetically appealing either: most freshwater biotopes are not the lush, optically arranged underwater gardens we see in Nature Aquarium World (although I find myself using Amano's techniques anyway).
Good biotope information is scarce, although several good reference books have come to market in recent years (most other books tell you what to feed your fish, but not how to house them).

Biotope is almost synonymous with the term habitat but while the subject of habitat is a species or a population, the subject of biotope is a community.
Although biotope is primarily the technical term of ecology, in recent years the term 'biotope' assumes rather ecology movement and generally used in administration and civic activity.
That is to say, while the concept of biotope is fine wisdom for human to live together with nature, humans' selfishness is inclined to be reflected there; biotope is controlled nature, which suits humans' desire and convenience, and such diversity of living things may be not absolutely justice.

 My Favourite Biotope Aquariums... by Rick Bolger
Granted, some of the biotopes I'm referring to are less attractive than a Southeast Asian mangrove biotope, and they are unlikely to ever grace a glossy spread in TFH.
In the Dade County Canal biotope, the substrate should be composed mainly of mud.
One of the nicest aspects of this biotope is that the aquarist is afforded a lot of freedom to achieve the desired effect, specifically, a roiling, translucent bubbly water column with occasional glimpses of chaotic, semi-deformed fish.
