#62: 151L Aquatic Garden

What a neat way to show off the colored Guppies! The aquascape has an almost amphitheater like quality to it that helps focus the attention on the fish. It's a double edged sword though the plants are so well tended that they're monotonous. The wall effect created by the Rotala is novel at first but it is too strong and the bluff wall effect quickly causes the view to lose interest. Even so I envy an aquarist who can keep Riccia that neat. Good use of that plant.

I like the feeling of a little enclosed "cove" that this tank gives. I am less fond of all the funky colored fish.

The use of Riccia and plant combination does not look good.
