#28: 250L Aquatic Garden Discus Kingdom

Enrico Monteiro Recife, Brazil

Comments

Beautiful tank and LOVELY wild-type discus. I do think that the two "clubs" of Java-covered driftwood sticking up detract from the design rather than contributing to it. They are too heavy and dark. Depending on the shape of the branches underneath they might look better naked. If not then at least thin the moss way down.

The shimmering health of flora and fauna excellent use of color and texture and attractive driftwood 'gates' earn this aquascape a very high evaluation.

In order for me to apreciate this aquascape I had to imagine it with out the discus .I do not feel the discus were apropriate for this aquascape .
