That's a very nice low-light tank, Natural Aspect! I hate to point out the obvious, but why do you have anubias species in there if they are native to Africa? I almost feel that it detracts from a Vietnamese themed tank.......what's your opinion?

I think U misunderstand me Dolnald. at the start, I have no mean to advertise that all the plants using in my tank come from VN. many of them come from other coutries. I just use them to try to imitate a sight of Vn jungle. that just like a painter use some aquarelles made in other coutries to paint his country's landscape painting. if what U say is right, I don't know how many one is to be criticized.

zQ's right.....I didn't realize you were attempting to recreate the actual jungle look of Vietnam....thought you were trying to recreate a VN stream biotype. My bad!

Looks good, all the same.

I find this tank is very natural looking and quite relaxing to look at. Very Nice.

Well Done Des ui!
I think it's better if you lower the anubias from the top of rock to the bottom...all kind of moss are in good codition....

looks nice...

You should definitely make a Vietnam biotope.. There are plenty of Vietnamese plants and animals you can use.. It'll be unique too.. We don't see Vietnamese biotopes.


What part of vietnam are you from? You can just go down a creek and grab some
