Hmmm…. What if we have no hardscape. Do wires that show count ?

 

[Akshay]

is the hardscape requirment open for negotiation? if not please consider the rock on which the anubias is tied as the hardscape

 

[HardeeParty]

I don’t have any fish at the moment so I had to dig through the archives for this one.

 

[FatPleco]

Minimal hardscape but plenty of fish and plants.

 

[justtankin]

Some plants, rocks and a stick, otocinclus, krib, and tetras.

I’ve been learning more about my phone camera. There are a lot of settings that I didn’t even know were there! I can’t edit my first post anymore, but I want to add this picture using the new settings. I wonder if it looks better to you? I didn’t notice there were a few old leaves that needed clipped, oh well…
