I can't call this a biotope (and it certainly doesn't compare to such authentic renditions as prototop's riparium) as there are a few plants that are not even from SA, let alone from the same biotope, although I did want to recreate some of the feel of an Amazonian jungle stream.
Some of the plants include:
Maranta leuconeura
Calathea lancifolia
Alocasia amazonicus
Fittonia
Spathiphyllum (Peace Lily)
Pteris cretica
It's currently home to 15 Marbled Hatchetfish and 6 Pygmy Corydoras. I originally intended to stock it with a pair of Apistogramma agasiizzi but a LFS recently got a shipment of wild Ivanacara adoketa from Sao Gabriel and I have become somewhat enamored by these gorgeous fish.
