Setting up a low-tech planted aquarium for one of the rarest aquarium fish in the world: Somphong's Rasbora (Trigonostigma somphongsi). Once feared extinct in the wild, this Critically Endangered species is a special fish to have in the fish room. In this video, I walk you through a simple, low-maintenance aquascape build designed to make these rasboras feel at home. No CO2, no high-intensity lighting — just a natural, beautiful environment for a truly wonderful fish.

Freshwater conservation deserves more attention, so why not head over and check if SHOAL are working to protect any of the species that are in your aquarium? https://shoalconservation.org
