Those are some great fish for this scape - subtle but beautiful. They're very hard to find around here.

i was not satisfied with the way it looked , it seemed too unbalanced because of the right part , so i changed a bit the lay out , here is how it looks like tonight , there will be a lot of cryptocorynes in the mid-section between the different wood parts to make it look like they are all attached togother , all the back will be planted in stem plants , i had no time to take care of it yet , i will do something light and colorful





hope you like it

Veloth

Still look good. I like the change, it improved the balance of the tank.

hydrophyte

Looks really nice. I agree with Veloth's assessment.. Is that the same piece of wood? Did you cut it up to reorient the branches.

some news of this tank , i finally planted the left part tonight , too lazy to plant a lot so it might take a while to fill up the back , what i expect is the background to be fully planted in a light and colorful way ....anyways , at this point it is quite empty ....the empty space between the wood parts in the left will be filled with cryptos (quite heavily) , need some time to fill it up there too ...

for the plantation , here are the plants used:

background , MU , rotala sp green , eleocharis vivipara , green macrandra , hygrophila polysperma , vallisneria nana , ludwigia arcuata needle leaf , rotala indica , myriophillum matogrossense , hygrophila sp

middle section : microsorum narrow leaf , bolbitis ,cryptocoryne wendi green , fantanalis sp , vesicularia sp , tenellus , (MU)

foreground :tenellus (2 varieties , red and green , i'll try to keep only a little bit of the red one), cryptocoryne parva , eleo acicularis , eleo parvula , eleo short , glosso , vesicularia sp .

anyways , here is how it looks tonight , hope you
like it

Wow! What a difference it made in changing the wood placement. I thought it look good before but now it great! Good Job!

Dave Spencer

I think this scape definitely needed the improvements Nico. It should turn out to be another beauty.

Perhaps it is one you can add to your gallery of tanks on UKAPS?
