Its not quite there.... I having problems with the background growth of my stem plants particular the rotala species. Also the tank fish species isnt decided as yet. Its a little overcrowded at the moment but some of them will go in another tank when I have time to scape it. Any thoughts?

The high number of fishes distracted my view of your aquascape. But you have a nice tank there.

nice tank, love the lush fern there. hmm, a group of penguin tetra and dwarf ciclids will look good in your tank. =)

Ferns, Crypts and Anubis are the plant I'm happy with. Those damn Rotala!!!!

Penguins and cichlids eh...? Hmm. Thanks for the input!

It's a 90x45x45cm I understand it's overstocked. But its temporary. Waiting for the another tank. Question is which fish to keep and which to transfer to a 60x30x40cm?

I try not to get involved with your stocking choice but after playing the short film a few times, I realised you have a lot of open swimmer but none of those fish that often go in and out of the plant cover. Your aquascape may look more natural if you have a mix of such fishes. This is just an open suggestion, do not take it that you have to follow what I've commented. It is afterall your tank and only you can make the choices as you see fit.

Good point! I have Anomalochromis thomasi and Otocinclus "Negro" in the tank, and the Oto pretty much stays hidden but the Anomalochromis thomasi which I thought would go in and out of the plants actually stays out 90% of the time..... What other fish fits in that category?
