Biotope Help

[aquaman590]

I'm planning for a Caribbean biotope in a NC24. I don't know much past the fish that are in the Caribbean, and I'd like to go further with the accurcy of a portrayal of a specific biotope. Does anyone have some online resources that detail various Caribbean biotopes? Thanks.

All from the carribean. They are owned by Liveaquaria.com.

e-tropicals is great as is www.sealifeflorida.com

Great idea, if you decide to do something like this keep us updated

Those are great places. i already knew about Sea Life Florida---that will probably be my main supplier. What i was actually looking for was actual descriptions of biotopes, i.e. lighting, corals present, types of rock etc. Maybe like deep reef, shallow reef, rubble zone. Sorry i wasn't more specific! Thanks for the two links, though!

I've been looking for information like this as well and I can't seem to find anything on the internet - and I've spent many days trying to find something during my freetime at work.

My mantis tank is almost a Caribbean biotope.

N wennerae mantis, a couple of rock anemonies, zoanthids, and some non native anthelia I need to move out of there. It's about 5 gallons, mainly open sand (that one of the rock anemones pretty much covers) , and around 4# of rock piled against the back wall for the mantis' hiding places.

Here's a bac pic, I've since removed the Xenia,

I can't find any info on the 'net either, victor_c3. But I've been referred to countless books. Oh well. Off to Border's I guess.

Nice 'nems, Agu.
