The Jungle

[Loopy]

Hey there

After wrestling with this tank for months. Wrong sand, lighting issues, dosing and all the other things. I am happy.

4FTX2FTX1.5FT

Ignore the pipes and such it is all being re routed as we speak.

nice plants collection.
I like your foreground, quite special.
are the 'black ring' (right hand side) bambo shelter for shrimps?

Thank you feide The scape is "very me". I am not into aquascaping and this tank was built in bits and pieces (much like me, ha ha). I grew up next to a jungle in Bukit Timah, and I am heavily inspired by that from my childhood days.

The narrow leaf which I bought from a good bro here, AA24 (super cool dude), was the final touch. My colleagues said to fill up the front so the crypts went in.

The bamboo shelter or black rings were actually for my clown fish, which sadly perished to Ick, I was crushed. I had them for about 1 1/2 years. But, it is also for what I know as the Raphael Catfish and an extremely cheeky Skunk Botia and some of the other inhabitants.

I wanted to create endless hiding places and little surprises for myself and the missus to find when we sit in front of the tank to see what is new.

So far I have found 3 plants I did not know I have

Very nice tank.
I see a Skunk Botia at the front! I love these fish...but very aggressive with each other and other bottom dwellers, and make a fascinating clicking noise..

Ya good spot! I just realised it is in the picture too

It is behaving now as it's tankmates are boring to it and it just hangs out in the bamboo homes.

I had no clear it clicks too. Mostly the clowns was the only clicking noise I heard, I will be sure to listen carefully.
