Saw this scape in reality today, it's a monster, the pics don't give this scape it's true beastliness. The plant health is second to none, the mosses are in fact the best moss specimens i have seen (probably ever). Some awesome fish added today as well, something a little different for Mark i reckon.

well done on this one mate, you should be proud of this one. :thumbup:

Little beauties. I've got some clown killifish. 6 in total. Surface dwellers that just love...the surface :lol:
 
Where are the pics of these happy clowns in their new home then Mark ? C'mon, you're slacking. I am ALWAYS lazy on the photos, but we rely on you for our image fix 😉
 
Now thems some STUNNING fish mate !!! Arm and a leg or not a bad price ? Not gonna ask exactly how much, lol. What size are they ? Must say, looks 'surreal' in your tank... all the better as it creates even more intrigue to draw you in to the scape :thumup:

They are very attractive indeed. A new fave for me i think. They cost £20 for 6.

I have the camera on standby ready for some more images. I might do a video actually. There's some flaring from the males which looks real nice.
 
Thats a LOT cheaper than I would have expected, or have been prepared to pay. Nice one.

Mark those fish look horrid! They just don't suit your tank... I think you need to whip them out and give them to me :lol: only joking.... :lol: they look absolutely fab! They look great against your plants and I've not seen these fish before to be honest - really nice :thumbup:
 
Really nice fish Mark any idea what their lifspan is?

But on closer inspection, you can see it...This is the sicking form i think.

I'll try to find it 🙂
 
The one (ok of many) thing I love about your scapes is your variation in texture and how well one plant blends to the one next to it. This scape is no exception Mark. 🙂
 
Yep, I guessed it was pollution. Been there - but I was always told to remove it, 'cause it polluted. Kinda liked it, myself, and hopefully your good presentation of it will make it more acceptable. It's really a good contrast-effect and stays put, as long as you trim it now and then to avoid too much updrift........... Let's see more of that around the scapes 🙂
- The sinking/heavy form is nice too....... but doesn't give as good a contrast. Can end up quite a "bush" in the tank, though, given time.
 
Awesome! I like the "pollution" 🙂 And the Clown killies are my favorite fish at the moment - keep a pair of them and they are spawning quite often in the plants. Rising the fry though is a different story. You need to separate them if you want to get an offspring. They like to jump... 🙄
