Looks lovely, Andy.
I really like the theme that's going on - the C. helferi, crypts, Blyxa, hairgrass and ferns all share a similar leaf form giving a nice coherent style to the layout.
Always nice to see a good selection of fish too.
Thanks George, as it seems with my tanks they tend to evolve rather than stay as i originally scaped them.
No C.Helfri in here!! Its Nana Vallis, Crypt Balanese, Wendtii, hairgrass, ferns, mosses, staurogyne and a bit of ricca, plus some hydrocotyle, which i am not sure suits this particular scape. keep/get rid?
Fish selection is key, for a scape to be complete you got to have some cool fish!

Looking good Andy! I think I'm gonna have to steal some plant inspiration from you as I reckon the Blyxa will look good behind some of my rocks.
When you get your conditions right Blyxa grows really well and is a fantastic vivid green.

Nice work Andy! This is evolving nicely mate, 2 questions I have for you,
What's the 3 light coloured patches in the middle to right hand side? Riccia?
And what's the plan for the front left?
Cheers Dude!
3 light patches are some feshly added ricca stones, to merge with the hairgrass.
The front left just had a hard prune and removed lots of staurogyne, not sure what to do with it to be honest
