What do you think?

I'm trying to go a little more natural with my 75. How do you guys like this set up?

I usually take better pix than this, but I was in a hurry. These pix were also taken just after a water change so please excuse the cloudiness of the water.

holla back!!!

Lot's of views and no responses....hmmm. C'mon people, give me some feedback.

Looks pretty good mate, but if you want a more natural look, you should probably get wood that doesn't look like it has been neatly cut with a saw, 8). It looks good except the neatly cut wood looks outta place.

Lookin good so far, could do with some driftwood or plants though.

I agree sawed off ends are a no no

I don't mind the sawed off piece of wood anywhere people have been you can find perfectly cut piece of wood in nature. I would plants and get a black background. NIce start though.

I have the black background and am planning to put it on soon. I may try some plants but my fish always have their way with them. Gotta love cichlids!

Thanks for the input...any other suggestions?

With Oscars and the like I usually go more "rock garden" style, than planted. They like stacks of sandstone, and with the right color contrast it looks just as nice as a planted.

Well, if u can cover sawed off wood with moss, it'll be more natural.....
...but i guess i will add more rock...coz IMHO, oscar and planted tank seems don't fit very well....

It depends on the oscar, I had a group of 7 that left plants alone as long as they weren't too close to their territorial mounds.
