    Yup. Add in more plant. Your tank will look great when your plant grow denser!

    ya agree with you guys , need more plant for background and fore.
    but it seem to me that sagittaria in the fore ground are very slow in growth.
    have to wait till they cover up the whole fore ground.

    Cheers,

    the Harlequin Rasboras are 4yr old, bought then when they are just 1.5cm, now all of them are about 4.5 to 5cm.

    Rainbrow is 6yr old

    What a beautiful tank; Lush greens compliment by the striking red leaves of the lotus.

    I prefer the setup without the moss wall though as it offers more depth (You can use a dark color background wall paper instead of moss wall to cover the ‘emptiness’), just my personal view.

    Anyway, who am I to critic a master piece? Nice job!

    Why the lonely M. boesemani and P. denisonii? They would definitely do better in numbers, and provide more interests visually. The school of T. heteromorpha works very well in this scape.

    IMHO, individually, they don't seem to fit the scape, but are rather distracting, and everytime I looked at the scape, my focus were on them instead.

    can't help it , the denisonii use to be one pair and that belong to my finance minister. one of them pass way.

    Boeseman is my first fish when i stayed plant tank.

    T. heteromorpha , they like to school in the midle

    and the rammy nose like to school at the bottom of the tank.

    they balance up the tank.

    Well done! I think you should leave it as it is and just give the usual maintenance.

    Looking even more impressive indeed. Really like the lush green effect with a dash of red.

    This is the kind of aquascape that I would love to come home to after a day at work.

    tank size : 4x 1.5x 2H
    external filter : Eheim 2028
    Co2 : 3bps into DIY reactor
    light: 4x 36W PL + fan ( 7.30 am to 9am) ( 4pm to 10pm)
    Temp : +_26C

    base fert : JBL AquaBasis plus
    liquid fert : Lushgrow- 3ml /week

    water change 40% every 3-4weeks( when water is abit yellowish )

    once after setting up the planted tank, just leave it to grow and be more patient on it. initial set up the tank is quite bare.
