Awards and Comments

First Place
A very nice carefully arranged biotope. Although the rock arrangements could have been made larger for the sake of visual impact and habitat for the fish I really like the current placement. Plants seem to be healthy and growing as well. Congratulations for having a very nice biotope aquarium!

Very attractive Tanganyikan tank and fairly representative of some areas I've seen photographed. It might be even more attractive and truer to nature if your rockwork was built up even higher at least on one end. I know it would be harder on your back but as well as being more aesthetically pleasing it would encourage your fish to use more of the upper part of the water column.

Aquascape has a balance and harmony .
