I made INCREDIBLE SLOPED RIVER TANK | HILLSTREAM AQUARIUM Step by step AQUASCAPING TUTORIAL | EP1

I build a sloped river tank for river aquarium fish. In this inclined Hillstream aquarium step by step aquascaping tutorial I will show you how the slope was built and how I placed aquarium wood and stones on it. The plan is to slowly introduced mostly river species. I added some WCMM that are in my care for 2 years and this is their third Hillstream aquarium. Next video I am planning to introduce another schooling fish to this aquarium.
