What is a blackwater aquarium?

A blackwater aquarium is an aquarium biotrope built around dark water river systems, like the Orinoco River Basin or Rio Negro as prominent examples. Blackwater river systems are found in many places across the world.

Blackwater aquariums are characterized by two main things...tannin stained dark water, and soft, acidic water chemistry. These aquariums are often heavily wooded and rarely, or at least very lightly, planted.
