Fun! I love the fact that you've allowed the plants to grow up above the surface of the water. This is exactly the type of setting where you'd expect to find these fish! Nicely done.
— Karen Randall
The combination of submergent and emergent growth lend a very realistic look to the tank. It looks a lot like a weedy pool or shallow backwater where labyrinth fish might be found.
