Hi, after Kookabura's tank, some others french tanks

Please excuse me if my english is bad, I'm trying to improve it ^^

First my 8L (for caridina bumble bee):

Now my 18L (also for shrimp : red cherry + crystal red):

Time to the 54L:

And to finish the 300L:

T8 coming soon into the 300L instead of the HQL, with a new aquascape ^^ or evolution if you have any idea

I'm thinking about putting stones in the 18L, near the driftwood, what do you think about that ?
I'm waiting for your ideas, comments or something else ...
Thanks
(pfuif my english is very bad lol)

That's alot of pictures!

The first one:
The mass of Riccia is too dominating, and the rocks are placed in a "disconnected" way although they help "weigh down" the Riccia ball. I suggest getting more rocks to help take away the emphasis on the Riccia and smoothen the transition from foreground to background.

The second one:
This is more fo a cherry shrimp tank than one for scaping isn't it?

The big plant at the front that looks like a giant E.Tennellus should be removed or moved away.

The third one:
This is your best one, perhaps another one or two more rocks on the right to complete it, and give a smoother mound. The fish look too big however.

The fourth one:
This is great, I like the look. If the foreground were to grow thicker, it'll complete this tank. The angels look too big.

Good work!

ahh tanks for your rep ^^

About the 8L, there's a lot of stones under the riccia I'm going to found them

I've cut a little the riccia, it's better nôw ^^

About the 18L : the giant E.tenellus is in fact E.magdalenensis, they're going in another tank

Now it's for growing shrimp, but if it's possible for scaping ... why not ^^ I'm seeking about ideas lol, a mix of Amano and Knott ... (big challenge)

The 54L : ok for the rocks, I wish i could find them in my garden ^^

The 300L : I'll make a new aquascaping when I'll have the T8, or completing the tank with new plants ...

thanks a lot
