    Yes, can be kept together but, there's still risk of CPO catching the crystal red or red cherry for snacks.

    Very nice set up, but the white sand will become a headache when the fish poo settle there and if algae starts to form at the spot where the sand meets your tank's front glass panel. Gotta have very regular maintainence to keep it looking fresh. Good luck

    Re: Shrimps playground

    my latest rescape... changed from rocks to woods....
    and ya, the white sand is a major headache with the algae wafer dissolving on it...... gotta clean up almost daily..... but well, i still enjoy looking at them for now, maybe when i get sick of it, i might just suck them all away and replace them.....

    Another potential! A few more setup can join ADA competition.

    Re: Shrimps playground

    nice setup! clean and looks spacious

    but i feel that if the white sandy path is a bit winding and shifted a bit to the left side and leading to the back of the right side will enhance the view?
    pls correct me if i'm wrong

    You got the talent, just that you shouldn't create something that is squared. Your aquascaping creativity need to look natural as in nature. Keep up the good work!

    Yo bro, your scape looks interesting i think i saw something very similiar to Stonepost's tank. The description seems the same too...you got your inspiration there? Seems identical...it must be difficult to create such telepathy! Good job bro!

    Frankly speaking the CRS didn't really like too green or too bright plants like the riccia that you saw in my posting. Maybe they prefered the tree.

    haha why would i create a nick just to comment on a single post! It just happen so that this is the first post that attracted my attention when i saw 2 similiar scapes on the first day i registered here.
    I just arrived here in Singapore and would very much like to start up a aquarium. Was browsing and saw similiar scapes so dropped a comment.
    No offence my friend i apologise if my comment is too insensitive.
