Awards and Comments

Honorable Mention
I absolutely love this tank!!! While I am not usually fond of white substrate in this tank it really works. The photos were taken at just the right time... the plants are beautifully filled out but not a day over-grown. I love the fish chosen too though my experience is that Procatepus can be awfully scrappy. Hopefully with this large a group the aggression will be spread out! The only other reservation I have is that the variety of stem plants while lovely will make maintenance a chore.

Very unique layout. I like the two islands.

A very unique aquascape that is striking and different. The use of the rocks and driftwood is very interesting. I would probably move one of the red species to the other side and make one "mound" larger than the other to break the symmetry. Nice tank.
