Great idea Den, I can honestly say, I know what it's like to try and replicate an environment with minimal knowledge and guidance.
There really isn't too much info on the net on specific regions where certain fish come from.
The only thing that concerns me about a topic like that is the number of members who could actually contribute valuable info.
I don't think many of us have actually gone to the areas where our fish are from to give first hand advice on a biotope.
But then, I could be totally wrong...
Anyways, I definately support the idea. there are quite a few posts requesting info on how to set up a tank according to the conditions fish are from, it could be very handy and aid alot of the noobs when setting up and selecting fish for their tank.

I agree that there may not be enough knowledge within our ranks, or enough of a demand for that information, to warrant having a forum dedicated entirely to biotype/biotope discussion, but perhaps, like other boards, a forum dedicated to tank setup? That way questions regarding biotypes, ideal stocking levels, etc could go in there?
