THANKS FOR THE FEEDBACK. The large plants are plastic and the smaller ones are new starts of java moss. The redhooks will supposedly devour anything else and they are not as shy with the "cover" nearby. I bought the driftwood at an lfs. The tank is 72" long x 24" wide x 30" deep. The panaques are usually shy when the lights are off, and I am only in the beginning stages of aquarium photography. I have already tried getting shots of them (mainly the big one) with poor results. As soon as I get a decent shot of either one of them I'll post it - the 10"er is mighty purty. Although I cannot claim to be a purist (store bought driftwood & plastic plants), I am very pleased with the way the tank redecorating turned out... and the fish seem to like it too.
