Default Redid my tank in time for CNY

Today ran around the farms, getting some new wood, some new rocks, trying to do up a nice tank for CNY. Will probably bring home the new occupants by Friday.



I am not a arty farty kind of person, scape may not be very artistic but I kinda was inspired by the amazon feel with the branchy branchy effect. Will buy some floating plants to provide a little green to the wood. May look a mess but hope you guys like it.

Future occupants will be 10 x wild discus and probably corys and whiptails. Yet to decide on the probables.

Pardon the slightly darker than dark black water effect, kinda spammed it a bit too much.

Hope you guys like my tank.

Happy CNY in advance!

The tank looks cramp with too many woods, will restrict the movement of the fishes when they grown up...You might want to rearrange the woods ..like stacking uo or the branches pointed into the sand like creating a mangroves roots scrape....just my humble opinion..

Looks like a good home for Corys, barbs, tetra etc.

Would look better if you inverted the woods vertically to point down instead of pointing up.

I recommend against keeping whiptails. All whiptails I kept so far like to suck on discus/angel slime. They will attack your discus.
