Called it Dutch Lagoon for the planting style, rows of crypts and java fern with the apistos holding territory underneath. Blue bolts everywhere in the moss.

funny enough the dragon stone did more for the water hardness than my scaping skills did. apistos rule this one now.

Just a rasbora and apisto tank with a cave carved into the hardscape. Endlers fill the open water, jade shrimp work the Amazonia. Simple, no bigger point to it.

Wanted an iwagumi, ended up with a jungle because I can't say no to plants at the store. Two seiryu stones basically vanished under Monte Carlo and hairgrass now. Fifteen apistos in a tank this small was probably a mistake but the chili rasboras don't seem to mind.

Nothing says relaxing hobby like apistos staring you down at feeding time

The cat sits by this one longer than any other window in the house... Endlers and the apistos keep her there.

Dragon stone and hairgrass doing most of the work here, with the hygro pinnatifida filling in the awkward gaps. Gerald the apisto runs the place, two females trailing him around. Crystal reds clean up whatever the trims leave behind lol

I rushed the first hardscape and it looked cluttered no matter how I turned the spiderwood... Pulled it all and started over with fewer pieces, which is the version that stuck. Apistogramma pair up in the sword leaves now and the embers stay mid tank, ignoring most of it.
