Comments

Fine choice of plants and fish in an authentic set up!
— Hans-Georg Evers
I really like this I can just imagine putting on a mask and sinking beneath the water to observe these little fish flitting along the edge of the bank! Well done!
— Karen Randall
This small section of the swamp along the bank was well done and the use of hardscape and plants that drape over the bank accurately depicted. The fish look very healthy although I would have liked to have seen more of one particular species in the display. Great job.

Materials All the materials used in my aquarium, including branches, dry leaves, etc., come from the wild nature. In order to restore wild habitat of Tanichthys albonubes in the most authentic way, I use the natural pond mud taking from the origin in Guangdong Province, which is vital in achieving the same water quality parameters as in the original habitat.
