    This is after a trim on the background after 3 weeks. It's a 2 x 1 x 1 ft Five Plan Tank. Fauna are 6 Male Endlers from my own breeding, 2 German Ram and 4 Otos.

    Re: My 2 ft tank

    Nice looking tank!

    but the driftwood looks out of place, i think your tank without the DW will look better.

    you also need something to bridge your high background and low foreground, can consider planting some mid ground plant in between the foreground and background (like tenellus or some moss on rock etc) or simply put some dark colored rock there, so the transition from your foreground to your background will look smoother, and not like a wall.
    correct triming technique will help too but your background plant may not have enough thickness for that.

    just my personal opinion only.
    it is already a very decent tank.

    Re: My 2 ft tank

    Nice decent tank.
    Nice headstart, planning to add in any red floras?
    you should add in a shoal of cardinals or espei they will look great in this setup.
    By the way, bro can share your full tank specs?

    Cheers,
    kenneth

    Thanks for the suggestion bro will certainly keep it in mind when the time comes for the next rescape. Right now certainly have no mood and time to go next with it.
