With deep sadness, the BIOTOPE AQUARIUM Project announces the passing of Heiko Bleher (1944 – 2025).

Heiko was a true inspiration and guiding example for the BIOTOPE AQUARIUM Project. Well known and respected in the world of aquaristics and natural exploration, he left a lasting mark through his tireless passion, his travels, and the enormous archive he generously shared with BAP – documenting freshwater biotopes and ecosystems from over 200 countries worldwide, a resource unique in the world.

His legacy lives on not only in the countless publications, expeditions, and biotopes he documented, but also in the inspiration he gave to aquarists, explorers, and nature lovers across the globe. Through his advocacy for authentic biotope aquaristics, he encouraged hobbyists everywhere to recreate real underwater habitats – promoting awareness and respect for freshwater ecosystems as they exist in nature.

Heiko’s memory will continue to guide the BIOTOPE AQUARIUM Project, influencing our work and the community of enthusiasts he helped nurture. His contribution remains a priceless gift to future generations and a cornerstone for the preservation and understanding of global freshwater habitats.

As he always said: “My life belongs to fishes.” 🐟

BLACK CONES

The ultimate little tint bombs for your blackwater aquariums

Black cones maybe small but they certainly have a big kick so we would recomend adding a small amount at time with the added bonus of retaining the tannins without using lots of diffrent botanicals

Botanicals are not just great for tannin your water they have fantastic health benifits such as they have antibacterial propertys stress relieving antifungal propertys aid in breeding natural food source and natural hiding places

Alder are roughly around 3/4" in size

Botanicals can be added straight away into your aquarium where they will float for a while or until they sink to the bottom
To speed up this process you can simply boil the botanicals in a old saucepan for a couple of minutes.

Over time the botanicals will slowly degrade and can remain in your aquarium

Available instore or on our website Crowders botanicals

Thats the catappa bark strips all topped back up available instore or on the website link below

CATAPPA BARK STRIPS

Bark from the Catappa tree is a great way to increase tannins in your water and to add health benefits to your aquarium
These dried strips of Catappa bark are great for conditioning breeding fish and adding a natural look to your aquarium
Boil the strips for around 10 minutes to get the tannin release started and add them to your tank and with the left over water keep that bottled up for water changes and topups

The benefits last for many weeks and there’s no need to withdraw them when you add more
