final photos from my tank "Hau Coast"

[greenmiddlefinger]

Anyway, these are not really "final photos." I will continue taking photos of the tank all the way up until it has to be taken down (I return to Hawaii for winter break on Dec. 16). I will keep trying to get better and better photos for future contest use. But enough explanation, here are the photos:

Despite having botias, I still have a sizable snail population:





It seems like the Spakling Gouramis show more interest :hihi: :

Hope you enjoy the photos, and keep looking cause I may post more here as I take more photos.opy.jpg[/url]

Steven,

Good one! The simple plants and coupled with contrasting front bare sand/rocks and character giving wood branches are well put together.

The aquascape put me to the picture of a beach or swamp land. It give a simple and relaxing view that allow viewer free mind to perceive what the aquascape means to him/her. Just like a good paint work does.

Hiya, I was just wondering where you get such finely branched driftwood and whether or not you have problems with it rotting. I can't seem to be able to get good wood like that to work with, Many thanks
