| looking good. Don;t know the fish in your tank, but looking at the pic I voted for more fish. I would move those 3 vals that are at the glass, back though. |

| Nice tank, really like it. Mabey you could put some foreground plants more in the front and in the forest of vals. E. tennellus would look great there.That would spread the attention to the tank over all levels, and not just the top. And mabey add a few more reds like the cryptocoryne wendtii you already have. Your Lilaeopsis novaezelandiae looks like its doing very well.
Keep it up, looks great.

| your tank is beautiful.i love the plant arrangement,it looks real natural.i suppose a few less fish could be in there but thats me,although with the way your tank looks i doubt you miss a water change,so it wouldn't matter

| Fish are listed in my signature, actually a bit crowded right now.
Val. has gone a little crazy, I have pruned it some and moved into my other tank and also just pruned back the Giant Hygro.
Tried to fill in foreground with some Gloss. but that didn't take, will let the smaller ones there spread, as they are doing slowly.
Don't know what you meant by too organized. I did put taller plants at sides and in back, the Giant Val. just seemed to spread more than I had anticipated. (it has always slowly died on me before or was devoured by my fish)
