| Additional Information |
"I absolutely love this tank!!! While I am not usually fond of white substrate, in this tank it really works. The photos were taken at just the right time... the plants are beautifully filled out, but not a day over-grown. I love the fish chosen too, though my experience is that Procatepus can be awfully scrappy. Hopefully with this large a group, the aggression will be spread out! The only other reservation I have is that the variety of stem plants, while lovely, will make maintenance a chore." ---Karen
"Very unique layout. I like the two islands. " ---George
"A very unique aquascape that is striking and different. The use of the rocks and driftwood is very interesting. I would probably move one of the red species to the other side and make one "mound" larger than the other to break the symmetry. Nice tank." ---Bailin
