Default Dream of Amazon - 126L Tank
Hi Mates,
I'm from Saigon, Vietnam. Here is my nearest aqua-work that I would like to show you.
I'm always impressed when watching on TV the Amazon forest in the submerged season with all kinds of native fishes as discus, tetras, hatched....











Updated comming soon,
Thank for your comments!

Wow that is really cool...Thank for sharing. I love the wood, it looks like a river bank with tree roots exposed from erosion.

Beautiful aquascape. I really think the discus make the aquascape "pop" with excitement. Can you share with us your plant list, particularly what you have for your foreground?

Hi Blue, very nice tank, the Turks (Turqoise discus) are beautiful too. Great plant selection, the ludwigia perennis is awesome.

Great layout but I'm afraid that aquarium will be very small in short period of time!
Let discus grow and you will see...

Cheers,

That is some excellent wood.
I agree with Roy it really looks like a bank on a river with the trees root system right on the edge.

The unique thing that I don't like on this layout is the position of tenellus.
Maybe with a couple of months it’ll spread and mix with eleocharis giving a natural look to the layout.
Why did you remove the Discus, any problem?

Thank for your comments!
After several months, I realize that discus are quite big vs this layout, so they was offered to my friends for bigger tank.

I have changed the foreground, tenellus mix up with eleocharis to be more natural feelings
I will updated the new version for this tank very soon!

Very nice indeed, by taking out the Discus and replacing with cardinals makes the tank look so much bigger. That was the only thing i didnt like, but now you have changed it is much better.
