Comments

I like the use of different colors. Moving some of the darker plants to the background will enhance the depth perception. This tank is too low to keep angel fish.

I very much like the design of this aquascape. Some of the plants look to be in peak condition... I love the Crypts along the front and the deep red of the Rubin sword. On the other hand some of the fast growing plants like the Limnophila and Rotala in the rear look a little pale. It could be an artifact of the lighting but I think they are probably a little chlorotic. The attractive harmonious selection of fish compliments the aquascaping.
