i dun think they get much smaller than endlers.
chose them cos of their complimentary colours.

becos this is a 30cm tank and im using just half the tank,
so scale wise, finding suitable smallest fish with the right color
proves to be rather challenging

These rocks are actually broken pieces from bigger rocks, bought some rocks and smashed them with a hammer (at least colour wand texture wise will be consistent) while some are handpicked for their patches and streaks of white, as i had planned to create a scape with snowcapped mountains. i got these rocks from mainland.

The slope effect is maintained by the rocks themselves, there are also smaller pieces behind, doubling up the purpose of preventing the "sand" from eroding downwards while the main purpose is to create depth

Maybe some cheap cherry shrimps to add some contrast against the white sand?
