WIO Mere River Kit

The Mere River Kit is a unique concept designed to inspire nature artists inspired by the mellow sands and forest debris found in the mighty Pool Malebo of the Congo River in Africa.

The Congo River delta is a vast and complex ecosystem where freshwater and saltwater meet, creating a dynamic landscape of lagoons, lakes, and channels. The area is characterized by the slow-moving river, which meanders through lush tropical forests, carrying a rich mixture of sand, gravel, and organic material. As the river approaches the delta, the current becomes weaker, and the materials carried by the river begin to settle on the riverbed. Over time, the organic material decomposes, creating a rich substrate perfect for a wide range of aquatic plants and animals.

The forested riverbanks provide ample shelter for small fish and invertebrates, while the shallow waters and mudflats are home to various wading birds and other wildlife. The vegetation in the delta is lush and varied, with dense mangrove swamps and thick stands of bamboo and other hardwood trees. The area is home to many fish species, from small, colourful cichlids to large, predatory catfish.

This River Kit brings the warm, earthy tones of the Congo River delta to your aquarium and is perfect for recreating the unique habitats of deltas, lakes, and lagoons.

The substrate in the Mere River Kit is a carefully crafted blend of yellow-ochre sands, gravels, and twigs that mimic the materials carried by the river and settled on the riverbed. Over time, the organic material decomposes, creating a rich substrate perfect for a wide range of aquatic plants and animals.

The kit includes complementary Bumblebee Stone, which offers shades of yellow-ochre and a slight granite feel, with darker patches and scars on the face of the stone. The stone brings a natural and realistic look to your aquarium, perfect for creating a river delta environment. The kit also includes our Wetland Artist Mustard substrate, ideal for supporting lush plant growth and blends harmoniously with the display's colours.
