    Could not find a more suitable title for this layout. Last night, I could feel the loneliness of the koi angel which to me, seems to be a shining star..

    Comment for improvement welcome:

    This is very nice.. very bright and simple layout. I thknk the undulating wall behind the tank actually adds to the mode of the setup. Good Job.

    thanks Nicky for the comment. The undulating wall was not intended, and i thought of changing background but after the picture was taken, i kind of like it

    Nice scape, I find the angel and saes too big for this scape , need some trimmings and try a black background, I think that would give the scape some depth.
    ...I love rubies too ...

    i like the haphazard-ness of the plants in the background.. that look is not easily acheived... when done badly.. it really looks ugly..
    Well done..
    The last rock on the right jumps out a little too much.

    Yours Truly, Avan

    I went into the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life... to put to rout all that was not life; and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

    Thanks for all the kind comments and in particular, eddyq, i am sure there are many other local aquascape and layouts better than my tank. We are all just learning to do a better job...

    ranmasatome, you definitely have sharp eyes. The right rock was a new replacement rock while the original one was undergoing bleaching due to backening. Yes, i agree it is slightly bigger and whiter for my liking. I have since placed the treated rock back and i hope overall, the layout is now easier for the eyes:--

    Hi Maurice,

    An interesting aquascape. I do agree that some of the fauna are too big for this setup. Otherwise, I like the refeshing open feel.

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    the row of small stones are to block the hair glass and E. tenellus from creeping into the bare foreground. Will find suitable small stones.

    The big rock was bought from Gratiola 2 years ago. I really like this rock as it is unique and has the shape of a knife. Interestingly, it leans to an angle.
