Wow , I thought they were orange until this last photos of them . I like the black tailfin as a contrast to their yellow colours .

I Like your scape OP, really a lovely and unique tank. And I love how you went with a single species tank, it makes it look so much more realistic. My only suggestion would be to try a lighter background, perhaps white, and see how that looks. you may really like it.

Thanks, they do look more yellow with the brighter Leds.

Thank you. Ignore the scape, it is just thrown together . Am hoping to scape the tank better during next water change, I haven't paid much attention to the plant placement etc. at all. Yes I love the one type of fish, and it was an opportunity at the time to do so. Keep thinking the fish need more space but I really think they love the jungle feel to it. I am really torn about ditching the plants altogether and going with just some wood. It's a light blue background and no sweat to try white. That is an idea.

The vallis and red lotus don't really seem affected by the heat.

Decided to try the white background and love it. I removed all plants except the giant val. Please let me know what you think. I have a hell of a time with scaping. That big piece of wood is not waterlogged yet but liking it as is. 38250056_10160915282985651_1522896210891898880_n.jpg38292707_10160915283370651_1918589421863567360_n.jpg38404882_10160915282725651_6791555326156996608_n.jpg38458509_10160915282820651_5198860519406043136_n.jpg38482125_10160915283315651_5016444466546868224_n.jpg

Tank is slightly cloudy with the plant removal etc. Had to take advantage of my daughter who dropped by with her cell phone. She left too quickly..lol.

I LOVE the white background, really it looks so clean and simple now. I like your scape, and I actually like the piece of wood like that. are those keyhole cichlids? love those little guys personalities if so. The only thing that I think this tank needs is some floating plants. I think some floaters would provide shady areas to the tank and give it some depth.

Very nice looking tank and fish. Looks very clean with the white background. Wood piece looks good too. I’ve seen pics of Jacklyns tanks here and there and she really got a knack on aqua scaping.

Thank you , yes clean and simple for sure. I keep thinning the vallis back, it is such a great plant for the tank. Yes there are two keyholes in there, as well as some rummy nose, bleeding hearts and pristella. May remove the bleeding hearts and go more rummy nose. I will take all and any advice with regards to scaping believe me lol. I may just get some water sprite and see how it goes.

Thank you. I may wedge that bigger piece where it is, not sure. Yes Jacklyn has given some advice which I appreciate because I am always at a loss with scaping tanks. Sometimes I love it...but then it never seems right..lol
