    Very nice, a little over crowded, but nicely done.
    Call me Brian.

    P.S. This is what part of the alphabet would look like if Q and R were eliminated.

    You have used the space quite well in using plants to cover up the back and the far corner. The tank does not look empty, and the clump of plants at the back catches the eye.

    Also nice use of the wood, although the moss? on it looks suspiciously like green algae.

    Nice scape. But I couldn't help noticing, that is a lot of fish (I counted 60) for a 1 feet cube.

    Although it is possible to get by a higher bioload withthe plant mass you have, some fishes would probably need more swimming space than what is currently provided.

    Perhaps you would like to reconsider that. But it is your own tank, so it is eventually up to you. Just my friendly 2 cents.
