| Wow, that's a beautiful tank, are those real plants? Because i have never seen fake grass like that in a tank, I'm sure those tetras love all the hiding places, if i can get another tank, i want to do one similar to that.
Doh. I just read your signature and it answered my question...

| I love the way those tetras look in contrast with the plants! one question: are they neons or cardinals? I really want a bunch of cardinals for my tank, but if yours are neons and still look that good, I may change my mind! | |

| I love the silver and red dashes that I assume are the rummynoses! They're by far my favorite tetra, although mine didn't last 24 hrs and I haven't been able to find any since. | |

| Breathtaking! You have a real talent for aquascaping. I love the branches. I don't ever remember the scientific names of any of my plants but I recognize of few of yours from my tank. Your's look about a million times better than mine though. Your tank looks like one of Takashi Amano's. | |

| wow, your tank is amazing!!!!!!  i'd hire you to aquascape my tanks if i had that kind of money 
the only thing i'd suggest is that a black background would hide the cords and filter intake and make the plants really pop

I live near a VERY abundant amount of Manzanita and I would like to collect some. Just not sure if I should get :1.dead (brown wood) or 2.stuff that still has the bark on it. Any info would help.
BTW...you should really enter this tank in the tank of the month contest. | |

I got the manzanita from manzanita.com... I order branches to create this effect. Is good for fish too, because they have places to hide and spawn. I was looking for a natural environment.
Thanks for the comments..... | |
