#48: 270L Aquatic Garden Blossom of Spring

Comments

Nicely designed very formal layout style and the tank is beautifully maintained. I'm not a fan of "fancy" fish varieties in an aquascape especially a formal one like this as they draw attention away from the planting.

Impressive use of colourful stem plants that are clearly well-maintained. The layout is well-balanced but I feel the two main groups of green stems (Eriocaulaceae?) towards the centre appear a little too symmetrical. Overall very nice job!

A very pretty display of contrasting colors and plant forms.
This is the work of a skilled plantsman.
