Can you please provide some more information? Such as, the size of the tank, what equipment you already have, what you plan on purchasing, and what you're favorite species are, substrates, plants etc. This would go a long way in helping us help you!

Thanks,
Amanda

Within any river there are hundreds of different biotopes.

Here are a few examples....

Driftwood snags
Rocky rapids
Blackwater side creek
Sand banks
Flooded jungle
Main channel

Each will have it's own specific assemblage of plants and animals.

Hope this helps.

Also, The Orinoco is like the 6th largest river system in the world. It has probably every water type imaginable. I would look at what main species you want to keep and model it after their habitat. You can then add secondary species that prefer the same water type.
