Big tank is looking dope mrrobxc . It’s crazy when you move fish to a larger tank they get all this extra space and they look small at first

It looks like them big swords is like the plant of DOOM I gave Toni for her 1year birthday. They look a bit smaller in your tank, maybe cause your tanks is 4 times the size of hers...

This is like my dream tank, May be not fish but the look you have, it's like a slice of river bed in your house.

Thank you everyone! I’m really happy with how it turned out. The only thing I don’t like is the look of the plants. They are too uniform and looks unnatural. I’m not sure what I’m going to do long term but I may replace some or all of the plants.

I think if you got plants that were half as tall, and plants that were 1/4 as tall, and arranged them around the bases of the swords, it might give it a more natural appearance. Just an idea to try before scrapping/reducing the swords. And placing them in more random/uneven formation might help too. Still looks great as it is, and your cichla are beautiful btw.

Thank you. I’ll likely do that or take one of them out. It hides th scape too much. This tank will definitely evolve over time
