"In general, I hate statuary in aquariums. But I have to say, I find this piece, particularly the way you have him "lurking" in the undergrowth, ready to snatch up an unwary gourami, most amusing. I like it!" ---Karen Randall
"This wonderful aquascape shows good use of a hardscaping piece that is neither wood nor rock -- a dragon. Although I am not usually fond of figurines in aquascapes, it works well here. The bare spots in the front of the aquascape should be better concealed and the rock arrangement on the right should be either removed or redone -- it adds nothing to the layout as is." ---Carlos Sanchez
"I am not quite ready for the unleashing of the dragon ." ---Mike Senske
