At this time there's no fishes on the tank, just plants. Some types of Anubias... Gilletti, Bartheri, Hastifolia, Batheri nana, then Crinum and Bolbitis, all species of this biotope.
The fishes will be Pelvichachromis Taeniatus "Dehane" (hard to find) a couple, Nolebias Ansorgii 10/15 and snails like Neritina Natalensis.
other images....

in the beginning
the Anubias on the background....

The background is 100x45 cm and a thickness between 5 to 12 cm near the roots...
I will translate parts of the article soon.. anyway the tank is 180 liters, for the background I have used the polyurethane and natural elements like leaves of poplar, stones, several sands, pieces of screw root and grass sand bank.
