Re: Ryuoh lagoon - (PLANTED UP + FAUNA SELECTION)
Hi Nat. I definitely think it needs height, which the Aponogetons are doing but like, Ian Im not convinced they are the right plant for this scape. The smaller thinner ones look OK but the wider leafed ones look too out of scale for me. Maybe get the height from something more delicate. A small leafed rotala perhaps or even Hemi. Micranthemoides. I too would love to see a bit of branched Manzy emerging from behind your left rock as a single trunk and arching forward in keeping with the rule of thirds, covered in moss to one extent or another. It would create a lot of "movement"
As far as fish, whilst rummynoses are lovely and when in good conditions look even better (Im looking at mine right now and they are more like Rudolph than Rudolph himself !!), I tend to think they are the wrong scale for your scape. But why not chuck some in and see what you think ? Like already suggested, some micro rasboras would look great.. Bororas Briggatae or something like that if you like the red. Or how about something you dont see much, and some red striped dwarf pencilfish (Nannostomus mortenthaleri)
