Twilothunder and Ivanmx thanks a lot for the compliments.
Twilo, The crypts have been meticulously pruned and kept in check so that they don't overshadow the front too much.
Thanks

Bushan,
This is the nicest 10 gallon tank I have every seen. Positively. Now I REALLY feel sorry that Pedro and I are not going to Houston today. If we did I'd want to see this tank in person.
Your tank is an wonderful example of how a small tank can be made to appear much bigger. The transition from dark to light when looking from left to right is beautiful. The details in the dark left side are just like some of Amano's tank have them - creating a feeling of a natural sight. The umbrella plant in the left draws the attention to that side of the tank. The focal points are designed with extreme precision! Until now I've known only one person that could conceive and bring up such a tank to this state - Luis. The four leaves between the riccia, the narrow leaf JF that sticks out, the height of the crypts... VERY impressive!
Bravo!

Thanks a lot Nikolay for all the encouragement and detailed evaluation of the layout. You are always welcome to come check it out. I am thinking of adding some more Boraras to get a better density for the future pics. Comparing my layout with Luis's is a big compliment for me .Bushan,

Just returned from presentation. It was great and we also had a small plant auction. Hope you can make it next time.

Gorgeous tank
They look like Boraras Maculatus to me. I have nearly 30 of the little guys myself Markings look the same. Also, the image on the Aquahobby website looks to have identicle markings

Markings look the same. Also, the image on the Aquahobby website looks to have identicle markings The boraras are definitely maculata and some other subspecies. Here are pictures of them, different sexes, sizes and so on. You can see how they differ. The pictures where taken in the same tank at the same time. Some of them do have markings that are very different from the maculata.

The Google image search shows Boraras with all sorts of markings as "maculata". I noticed that at times, especially early morning most of the Boraras in my tank color up very deep red. I thought it was a mating coloration but the fish are slow and sleepy. One reason for the coloration maybe the food that I feed them (from kensfish.com).
The best explanation that I found about the different markings was that there are local varieties of maculatas. The exporters list them only as "maculata" and you don't know what variety exactly they are.

Thanks for the compliments Dev and Korasonek.
Nikolay , Thanks for the great explanation. I have also observed the markings and the color differ quiet a bit. Still trying to figure out what causes it.

Thanks Flashback.

Excellent job my friend. I know you got new plants from the auction. Is there another scape in the future?
Cheers!
Cheers!
