not bad, nice!
just feel that other foreground plants like glosso or etc, might suit your scape better.
else leaving out the e.tenellus and with the moss later covering the mid-foreground looks nice too!
what kind of wood you using?

Thanks Richie, I'm thinking take out the E. tenellus later, I just put the E. tenellus in this aqua because I just don't want lose it.

I think that your moss will outgrow your tenellus before long. You might want to keep check on it, so that it does not grow over your tenellus.

Green Cherry because the rocks look like cherries among green?

Nicely taken photo! Thickening things up at certain eye catching areas will help.

No, Green is the main color, and Cherry because of Red Cherry Shrimps

This aqua was setuped for my Red Cherry Shrimps

maybe it's just me, i would prefer having a little moss on the branches of the wood. But overall a nice tank. I agree too, removing the e.tenellus would look nicer

**Fei Miao** · 11th Sep 2006, 13:47

Looks good, a little higher in near centre would be better

**anttz** · 11th Sep 2006, 21:07

i like the small rock scattering at the foreground

**Cacatuoides** · 3rd Oct 2006, 00:38

Looks really neat and cool!! keep it up!!

**guan** · 3rd Oct 2006, 00:49

nice, and neat, the ET seems out of place as it is abit too long for this stage?

anyway, i like the blend of those colors you had!

**richietay** · 5th Oct 2006, 01:43

things had thicken up, very nice and soothing to the eyes watching it!

**Weirong** · 5th Oct 2006, 11:25

Very simple and neat. I like.

**kemp** · 5th Oct 2006, 11:40

it's very neat, i like the moss part. personally, i still feel the E.T looks kind of weird in there. well maybe it's just me only.
Overall, very nice!
