What do you think?



Plants: Didiplis diandra, Saururus cernuus, Limnophila aromatica, Cyperus helferi, Echinodorus bolivianus, Eleocharis parvulus.

Fish: Mesonata festivum, eight rummy nose tetras, two siamese algae eaters, two otocinclus affinis.

A few months ago I had 15 plants species in this tank. I felt that I could best express a layout by using a minimal number of plants. I reduced the number of plants by describing to myself the role that each plant fulfilled in the aquascape, broadening those roles as much as possible and making sure that only one plant occupied each role. Of the 6 remaining species there are two that I may yet remove. The eleocharis is hardly visible any more because the SAEs took a liking to it and the plants have been waning ever since. The vertical accent provided by the Cyperus doesn't seem to help that much and can probably be replaced by more D. diandra.

How do you all see it?
