Judges' Comments
Impressive colours and shapes!!! Very good balance between textures and shapes with very good layers. Just take more attention with the side reflexes. Congratulations!

This aquarium, measuring 90x45x45 cm (182.25 liters), appears healthy at first glance but is very densely planted. With about 15 plant species packed into a 90 cm length, the guideline of one species per decimeter of front-glass length is significantly exceeded, which prevents the aquarium from conveying a sense of tranquility. Furthermore, the plant groups are positioned very close together. Reducing the number of species and creating larger, more widely spaced groups would help achieve a calmer aesthetic. Additionally, more attention could be paid to the variation in leaf shapes between adjacent plant groups. The layout also appears highly symmetrical; the red *Rotala* in the center-rear, flanked by similar plant groups on either side, reinforces this effect. I also notice that certain species, such as *E. stellata*, have been placed in multiple locations throughout the tank; consolidating these into a single group would help create a more harmonious look. The *Ceratopteris cornuta* (often called oak-leaf fern) should not be confused with *Hygrophila difformis* (water wisteria). This plant grows quite large and is currently too hemmed in; it would be better suited for placement against the back wall. I also spot two *Moenkhausia oligolepis* (glass tetra) that were not mentioned; these are schooling fish and should be kept in a group. There is also no specific bottom-dwelling species present.

Pretty tank doesnt belong in the Dutch category
— joe harvey
This is a beautiful and healthy nature style tank. If plant groups had more contrast between them and the centrally positioned Rotala and Echinodorus were placed in focal points, this may have ranked higher.
