Southeast Asian Backwater Stream Biotope

The Southeast Asia Backwater Stream Environment includes the smaller streams that contribute to the larger rivers of mainland Asia, and those in the Malay Archipelago. These streams tend to be slow moving, low in oxygen, and grow lush vegetation due to a high level of iron in the water. Colorful heavy-bodied fish are found in this niche. A nice deep reddish-brown to brown, small size gravel or sand is recommended to simulate the natural substrate. Accent with reddish-brown to brown colored rocks and pebbles.

Bill Wymard, Marine Biologist

Owner Bill Wymard set up his first aquarium at the age of 10. He had no idea that, several decades later, he would be keeping over 500 aquariums, and still possess the same passion and enthusiasm for aquariums and fish that he did when he was young.

As Wymard grew, and earned his degree in Marine Biology, that excitement and passion became something more. It just seemed natural to him to blend his life-long dream with his marine knowledge and skills to build the biggest (and best) aquatic superstore in the country. In the late 1990's, with the help of many talented, business colleagues from Petland, Bill, his wife Sandy and Petland owner and mentor Ed Kunzelman did just that!

In June of 1997, a new Aquarium Adventure franchise opened to rave reviews from local and visiting customers alike. Designed to hold and showcase the largest selection of freshwater and marine fish in the nation, our 12,000 sq.ft. showroom quickly earned a sterling reputation for the best selection of aquatic life and custom tank design in the area, as well as a knowledgeable staff.
