Scape is a simple hardscape with gravel, rocks, and wood, inspired by these pics of the rio bascan in mexico :

Love it!

Thanks everyone!
So much fun to have a tank of all juveniles again. They are scared of nothing, constantly begging for food, and the two species of fish act like one big group. I can tell this is already becoming one of my favorite setups

Well done! I even looked at the inspiration habitat and you pulled it off beautifully!

Thank you I would have used larger rocks to be more accurate, but did not want too much weight on the bottom of the acrylic tank. May add some more small rocks though.

Looking good. The thorichthys look to have settled in well, already showing nice colours..
