Inspired by the breath-taking underwater world of Lake Malawi and the karst streams of Bonito, Brazil, the Wio Nautilus Light River Kit features a mix of light-coloured sands, crushed shells, gravels, boulders, and Mustard Artist substrate, providing a natural and realistic look for your aquarium.

Lake Malawi, also known as Lake Nyasa, is a freshwater lake located in the East African Rift Valley system. It is the ninth largest lake in the world and the third largest in Africa, covering an area of approximately 29,600 square kilometres. The lake is bordered by Malawi, Mozambique, and Tanzania.

The Malawi lake is known for its crystal-clear waters, which are home to over 1.000 species of colourful cichlid fish. The lake's shoreline is varied, with sandy beaches, rocky outcrops, and lush vegetation. The waters are deep and clear, with visibility of up to 30 meters. The lake is also home to several islands, including Likoma Island and Chizumulu Island.

On the other side, the karst streams of Bonito, Brazil are a unique and stunning aquatic environment. The region is characterized by porous limestone bedrock that has been eroded by water over millions of years, creating an intricate system of underground caves and rivers. As water flows through the porous rock, it becomes filtered and purified, resulting in crystal-clear streams and rivers with an otherworldly blue-green hue.

The streams are home to an incredible diversity of aquatic life, including numerous species of fish, amphibians, and invertebrates. The rocky terrain and fast-moving water create a dynamic and challenging environment for these species to thrive in, but they have adapted over time to make the most of the unique habitat.

In addition to the aquatic life, the surrounding forest is teeming with wildlife, from monkeys and jaguars to numerous species of birds and reptiles. The karst streams of Bonito, Brazil offer a truly unique and awe-inspiring experience for nature enthusiasts and aquarists alike.

The all-in-one kit is composed of a blend of light-coloured sands and crushed shells, a mix of small, medium, and large shells, White Adder boulders and nano boulders, and Mustard Artist substrate for plants, providing a natural and realistic look for your aquarium.
