Lots of purdy tanks, guys and gals!

And, its peeving me, so I've gotta say...who says white fish are unnatural? They were born that way! Apparently I've gotta tell my white skirts that they aren't natural!

There were a few judges comments where I just had to scratch my head :soda:

"It will be hard to maintain considering the plants being used..."

"The composition is excellent, but it looks as if the layout was created just for the picture"

That tank was set up like that for about 6 months! :laugh:

Wow, I thought they were all beautiful. But such sever criticism, I hardly saw some of the faults they found, even after they pointed them out.

For some reason I can't open that link. Is there another way of getting there?

Well Len, I'd give you another one...but it appears the site is down temporarily...

It's up now for those who are interested. It is well worth a look.

It's always such a great source of inspiration, as are your tanks Leo.

It's strange to see Karen Randall writing that H. difformis shouldn't be a foreground plant, she recomended it as a 'low-light' foreground plant in her aquabotanic articles. I don't find wisteria a particularly fast growing plant, even in my high growth tank it's one of the slower growing stem plants.

can anyone submit a tank for this contest?

I also thought some of the comments were a bit harsh. Constructive critisism is a good thing but some remarks were a kick in the teeth, especially after so much hard work.

I thought all the tanks were stunning. Something to strive for.

Which ones are yours, Leopardess?
