looks better with less and seeing ur fish more is always better
I agreed for the most part but I also want a tank to have a little natural surrounding as well. It's hard they're taken out of their home so the least I could do is give them something that look like their natural habitat.

You just like see the good right in front and go straight for the action.

Seeing is believing...

I prefer before...
I kind of like before too but it makes the tank looked cramped and my fish were actually more skittish with more hiding places. I would think it would be the other way around but it's not.

And i thought i had a real mixed selection...Discus with brackish Archers? (looked better before i thought!)
Not all archers are brackish. Some can be acclimated to fresh with no issue. My goal is to add some tiger scats but they might be too aggressive for the rest to handle.

Trimmed bushes work too! lol
I like it neat and still leave a lot to the imagination. Bare will work too but it gets boring quick.

Looks good, that way you can see all your fish.
I see my fish a lot more and saw fish I didn't know that were still alive.

They're actually less skittish with more open space.

Nice mix nonetheless.
I've never seen discus with so many active swimmers. For plants, a few really tall cabomba/cabomba like plants that touch the top should look good.
Thanks. Discus are active swimmers themselves. I don't know if I want too many plants yet. I hate having to deal with plant debris.

Take all my tanks home. Sign over your pink slip and leave your Audi behind.

I for one prefer the Junglestyle. More Bush!!
Jungle looks good but also can look messy. I cannot see what is hidden behind those bushes.

Looks good, those clown loach look chunky
Thanks, I had those loaches for two years now and they seem to only grow 1 inch per year.
