as in back then when it was just sand bottom . i think it brings out the fish more : ) but then again, thats just my personal preference^^; and again, nice fish!
thanks for the comments everyone. i'm really sorry i dont have the time to respond to all your comments individually, but they mean a lot especially when life gets hectic

@db, the dw makes the tank look small, there's a lot of space under and behind it
pupmole, thanks for complimenting the sand look! it's been a look my tanks've been sporting for a couple of years. that was the reason i decided to go for something different this time round, it's not done, but i'm pretty happy with the progress
