Take a trip along the Rio Negro in this month’s magazine, as we join Gabor Horvath on his once in a lifetime trip to see the natural habitats of many popular aquarium inhabitants.

For those that want even more biotope content… well we have you covered! On top of the trip to the Negro, Tai creates a simple serape tera biotope that you can try at home and Michel explains the natural habitat of a stunning Pelvicachromis species. Hawkfish have plenty of personality and love to pose for a camera, Chris takes a look at this group of reef predators while Jeremy Gay tells us all we need to know about a popular LPS coral, the stunning torches.

The first issue of 2025 also gives us the opportunity to take a look back at the results of the latest IAPLC. The top 7 tanks feature including the judges’ comments and all the species used in the creations. Should these inspire you, George Farmer explains how you can add a playful, and colourful, twist on a traditional Iwagumi aquascape.
