Nice matured look although I like it better when it was trimmed.

How do you keep your white sand clean and nice?

Thank you JadeIceGreen !
I like it also well trimmed.
As for the white sand, I try every Sunday with the water change to clean it up and it works , but before a serious photo shooting I add a new layer of clean sand.

Really amazing...its such a nice experience seeing how the tank developed to what it is now...great work. you really are a genius in aquascaping.

the tank looks great!!
but the 2 moss balls make the branches look like cotton buds... maybe after it mature further , the moss will turn out nicely..

You have a good eye my friend ! the moss was looking good some months before, when the plants were still growing, but not so good now that plants grew tall and compact.
I already took the moss out after the shooting and it is looking much better now.

Are those Harlequin rasboras? Mine were eating my shrimp (both juveniles and adults) even when adequately fed..

I think I had evil rasboras.

Yes Fuzzy , These are Harlequin Rasboras and some of them are more than 2 years old, but they dont even tuch my shrimps. The M.praecox on the other side are more dangerous for the cherry shrimplets ,and sometimes they are eating little ones that swim in the open.
Even so the cherry shrimp population is over 200.
