What does my 125 need to make it more appealing?
floating plants?
a stone pile?
it currently has 10 vieja argentea in it and a sevrum

also pics of my:
72 bowfront (dovii & managuense grow-out)
32 bowfront (Flowerhorn Breeding)
homemade cage for my chinese water dragon

A pile of large rocks on each side would add some depth. You could also add a small piece of driftwood or bundle of fake plants to add more dimension. Overall I think it looks great, nice simple symmetry yet still seems like there's alot of depth in the decor for the fish to explore.
 
This one's easy, it needs a silver arowana and a stingray;)

thanks!

what type of rocks? like round boulders? or stacked slate?

I was thinking about moving all the wood to one side
and do a gradual decreasing slope with gradually smaller stone all the way down to moon sand

kinda like this

Green: Tahitian moon sand
Red: Polished river stone (Like the ones in my 32 flowerhorn tank above)
Blue: larger rounded stone
Brown: my drift wood

I was thinking rocks that are around dinner plate size and smaller. Not necessarily 50 pound boulders but some with a larger dimension to create depth and contrast in sizes.
