Wow - the fish sure to have lots of fun in there!
BTW - you have a polariser on the camera to cut down reflection on the water surface?

**ragn4rok** · 5th Dec 2007, 01:33

@william, marle, and Nevada: thanks all.. hehe

@juggler: Ok, I'll look for one soon and try to make some new shots..

**ragn4rok** · 8th Dec 2007, 18:25

I still don't get the polariser.. sigh... But, I'm trying to make new shots from different angle.. And, here it is.. I hope it's better now.. hehehe

There are still many empty spaces for planting more plants..

Any ideas what fish can be keep on this tank for top view only? Thanks..

Jeff

koi if not mermaid

I think anything from the carp family is going to rip his plants apart. How about hatchet fish or the butterfly fish or even a school of tetras.

**ragn4rok** · 13th Dec 2007, 00:44

@blackBRUSH: ranchu will destroy my plant.. not a really good choice
@kiasu: koi too.. mermaid.. hahaha

no mermaid here laahh..
@Jungle: hatchet will jump put off this tank.. So, it's already decide then.. I'll use hundreds cardinal and around 50 denisonii...

Tx...

Watching your video made me sea sick...

Hi ragn4rok, your concrete tank is really impressive! May I suggest you keep our local fish like red arowanas or Siamnese Tiger. It does not do justice to keep small fish in such big tank.

**ragn4rok** · 18th Dec 2007, 09:53

@wks: hahahah.. red arowanas will jump out.. The wall is not high enough to prevent jumping arowanas..

Better photo... now can see more plants!

For fish, how about those Koi Swordtails? They look like mini-koi from the top.
Can Clown Loach do as well? Nice markings when looking from the top.
A shoal of colourful Discus? They sure love the big space.
Upside-down Catfish? Never tried before but could look interesting as it surface.

Can't think of any shoaling smal fish that could look nice from the top.

Cheers!

somehow i felt contrast the substrate casted on the entire pond makes it look artificial..correct me if i'm wrong..maybe can try some wetland plants e.g. papyrus, arrowhead, allowing the pond to blend with it's surrounding.

I like the idea of some papyrus reeds.

Over time, I am sure the substrate will darken from debris.

Thanks for the suggestions.. Anyway, here's the update:

**medicineman** · 26th Jan 2008, 21:57

Great growth!

It will be full in no time. And soon it is time to harvest or waiting for flowers again
