Ian you are getting some great images mate. Love the cpd's..do you need a new home for the aponogeton you must removed?

thanks Chris!

it didn't last long when i took it out, it dried out pretty quickly.

 

[bumbleweasle]

Aww, CPDs. I do love teeny fish.. Pics look great!

He does that on occasion. A serial plant murderer. Aponogetons are lovely. The death is tragic.

Ian, can we get a full tank shot? The pictures look lovely, but I'd love to see the entire tank. You're really approaching the level of some of the great scapers with regard to picture composition and quality. The photos remind me of work that Evans or Baliban over in the US would do. Actually, don't take it the wrong way, you're tanks remind me of both scapers quite a bit. That's a good thing.

thanks guys...the group of CPD's are great to watch. I do like having a large group of 'micro' fish in a bigger tank, you get to really see the instinct of the fish.

Ian, can we get a full tank shot?

will try and get one later, it's not changed a great deal other than the aponogeton.

that's a massive compliment llg, and i'm not sure i'm at the level of these guys with the artistic talent and probably never will. I am looking forward to the next scape though.

Very nice full tank shot. Get a picture of the aponogeton flower when it does the deed.
