INFORMATION ABOUT BIOTOPE
Description of the area surrounding the biotope: Hanshirek in China, the left bank of the Yangtze River. The source and upper reaches of the river are located from the south of Qinglin Mountains.Qingling Mountain Range in East Asia, located in China. It is the eastern extension of the Kunlun Range. It drags from west to east to 1000 km from the southwest of Gansu Province in Shaanxi Province and Henan. The highest point is Mount Taibayshan (height 3767 m).

The River Weihe that runs north from the ridge separates Qinglin from the Loss Plateau, and the Hanshui Valley from the south – from the Mitsangshan and Badashan ridges, behind which lies the Sichuan Basin. The spine consists predominantly of limestone and metamorphic shale.On slower southern slopes, subtropical mixed forests grow with the participation of bamboo, camellias, magnolias.

Threats to the ecology: The aquarium is designed to attract attention to the small fish and the fragility of all water inhabitants. In nature, the streams with a fast current in the south of China are no longer inhabited. After detection in 1930 and with active catch for aquarium content, the fish – in the former habitats, completely exterminated.
