Information

"A beautiful aquascape with great use of color (fire). The rocks (mountain) almost seem like a volcano spewing out bright red lava (or, in this case, a cornucopia of red hued stem plants). Also, your choice of the flame tetra, a classic tetra species, is also to be commended. Great work! " ---Carlos Sanchez

"Beautiful, high-level aquascape. If I have a quibble, it is with a little too much emphasis on the red, though I do understand its representation of fire." ---Karen Randall
