"Pleasant but is getting a little rambunctious… ready for a little gardening discipline. Seems that the side view shot was taken a little earlier and I prefer this state." ---Jeff Kropp

"Beautiful, the harmony of plants and fish. It creates an image of a transition from woods to grassland." ---Wim van Drongelen

"This is a beautiful healthy tank, but is a little too much all the same both in texture and color for my tastes." ---Karen Randall
