This aquascape takes you far under the Canopy in a Sumatra forest river, where the light is hard to see. Human eye can only try to capture a fish move. Every fish and plant (but Microsorum Windlov) you'll find in this aquascape can be found in this type of river. I tried to capture this so quiet and wild feeling I found in a trekking I made in 2004 in south-east asian forest. Hope you enjoy it
