And here's the occupants of my 4ft tank... I'll try n take some pics of the very elusive ropefish, have 9 of them but they're either hiding or just simply to fast for an amatuer photographer like me

SB Albino Bichir


Feifeng


Angels

wow.. i am very inspired by your 3ft tank! I dun think it is easy to achieve a "messy" and nice look!

did you plan beforehand or make it up as you go along?

Bro, the "China Pipa" is also called Hillstream Loach.

sorta planned it by visualizing thru looking at Oliver Knott's websites as well as going ard S'pore getting inspirations from various shops n bros tanks hehe (I'm sorta serial copycat ) and as the title suggested "Rescaped" i had it scape 2-3mths back but it was even more messy n wild looking den this...

And along the way I got hooked on a few plants, namely mosses, Big Pellia, Crinum sp., Eriocaulon sp., and toninas (my fav r still pellia and crinum )

Was gonna turn the 3ft into a mosses & shrimps only tank but sighz got too many nice n fav plants lar so in the end the messy wild look

Thanks tanjy for the encouraging words
