looks very natural...like you took a piece of the amazon river and placed it in a tank....some Discus or Angels would look great in here

 

[Andy D]

Looks great. I am planning on this type of set up in one of my tanks but I will have an emmersed area too.

 

[Achintya]

The sad part is that here in India we can't get any wild caught Discus or Angels.I wish to keep few Nhamunda or Cuipeua Discus but unable to keep because our country bans imported fish

 

[t.doyle]

Some Nannostomus species (I am breeding mortenthaleri) would look good in there. But definetly some angel/discus would look ace!!
