Well I was bored and wanted to try making a planted aquascape. Besides the crappy quality of the pics does it look good,bad or awful? The fish seem to really like it. I think I like the way it turned out. I might change a thing here or there.

that's not heavy! (maybe for a malawi tank)

i think it looks much better to use much of the same type of plats instead of different ones. pick one or two at the most and plant 10 or so of those and let them grow... :) just my 2 cents
 
I changed the title. I have seen much heavier but I usually have only a couple things in the tank so it still kind of looks weird to me. :o)
 
I like the tank. Looks cool, but I agree.. thats not heavy.

Here is heavy for an Malawi Mbuna

Wow that is a amazing tank. That may be the best looking freshwater I have ever seen.

No problem. I just wanted to know if my tank looked like sh*t or not. Compared to that tank, mine looks like the inside of a toilet bowl after somebody who is lactose intolerant drank an extra large coffee!
 
hehe mine is worse. i got 2 bamboo plant thingys on each end and a pot in the middle.

anywho, can you gimme some names of those plants and where i can get them? my local petsmart and petco has crap plants and their largest piece of driftwood is like 8' inches. o_O
