AGA 2004 Aquascaping Contest: #51

Your discus must love this tank! They have wide open spaces to swim in as well as some structure in the right rear for security. The strong right side gives an uneven feel to the aquascape. There is also a lot of strappy green texture in the design. A nice piece of wood would give a good solid structure to contrast against the lacy plant texture. I worry about the long term maintenance requirements of this tank though. All of those plants require frequent care to stay in their best form. Having ones hands in the tank all the time can be very stressful on discus. Good use of Pidgeonbloods though their color is a strong foil to the strong green of the plants.

layout looks too delicate for Discus. I prefer more dynamic layout for the Discus.

Nice clean tank but the aquascape is very unbalance. Also H. difformis is not a good choice for a foreground plant. It looks quite nice for a short period of time then grows as all Hygros do... fast and straight to the surface!
