It just goes to show, presentation is everything!
Well, we've all seen Tom's masterpiece before, of course, but Planter, this is the first time I've seen yours and it really resonates with me - I was clicking straight into the gallery to see more. I love the river of sand running under your arching driftwood bough, spanning the river. A real summers day on the river, Wind In the Willows kind of feeling. You get a fantastic impression of depth. It looks like a 4' tank so I'm really impressed to see it is actually a 20" cube! Nice fish too.
I see anubia's, HC, java moss, some kind of grass... What are the background plants back left and right and on the driftwood?
