Aquariums: Western NC biotope, North Fork Upper Catawba River, North Cove, NC. Read the description please.

I built this 3 weeks ago and was devastated to see this section of the Catawba River used as inspiration was essentially destroyed along with so many other creatures' homes, both man and wild. Please donate to Be Loved Asheville, Operation Air Drop, Red Cross NC or any number of local organizations providing assistance.

The scale is made entirely of native materials, including the rocks. The plants are all native and the ludwigia and rotala were harvested from the private section of the river I tried to emulate. There's even a greenhead shiner I collected from the site.

Please excuse the white cloud minnows….
