Black Elderly Forest
About This Aquascape
This is a rather dark scape, created for the well-being of the fish, but with enough light for the plants. It was started in April of this year. It is a re-scape of the tank presented last year at your competition. It is doing very well, but the yellow rotala planted at the bottom is not yet bushy; the scape would have been even prettier!
