You've done a beautiful job with the tank. I agree, up the tetras for more impact. The only think I'd change in your scape is to take out the plant in the back left of the tank and replace it with something of a totally different texture leaf and color....either a darker green or a bronze plant. My eye is drawn to the left back of the rock needing something bolder. One of my crypts would look amazing in that corner!
Pinkertd are you talking about replacing this plant? I was going to try to fill up that corner with these but i would like to hear your thourghts on what else i could put there. thanks. Sorry for the blurriness
Both of them actually. Especially the one in the back, to me it seems to delicate for placement there. Here's a pic of one of my crypt luteas. I don't thin mine but they can be regularly thinned so that they don't get as bushy, I want bushy to give the shrimp and baby fish places to hide. I cut this out of one of my file photos and here at work I don't have much of a picture editor...did the best I could.
