Awards and Comments

Honorable Mention
Beautiful aquascape! The composition and excecution of the aquascape is very well done. It would be perfect for those discus if only it were twice as large. Even so they look very healthy well fed and happy with their home. Try keeping that right foreground clearer of Echinodorus to allow the fish more room to peck for food.
— Phil Edwards
The aquarium layout looks nice but the selection of the fish was wrong. This layout does not look good with Discus.
— Takashi Amano
Very pleasing tank with lovely contours and colors. And I LOVE your healthy beautiful brown discus! The single tall Crypt doesn't add much though and a more interesting piece of driftwood would be nice.
— Karen Randall
