Looks darn look and a bit difference from your general aquarium. I like. No suggests on fish however.
After watching some videos about the flooded Amazon forest, I wanted to recreate in a planted aquarium. Should look a whole lot better when the stem plants in the back and sides reach the top of the water. I am planning on stocking with a school of Hyphessobrycon amandae. Any suggestions on other types of fish????

Looks great. You gonna put wild discus in it?

Thanks, I know its not really a biotope, more of a minature.Looks darn look and a bit difference from your general aquarium. I like. No suggests on fish however.
Thanks. No discus, Just some very tiny tetras. Ember tetras get only about 2 cm. Keep the scale right. I actually want the plants to grow tall and stemmy to look like tree trucks etc. Discus I will keep in my fishroom, they would not fit in this 29 gallon tank.Looks great. You gonna put wild discus in it?

Very nice. I like it....
Looks real cool Scott! I like it! Small fish would make it look best, giving the illusion of the "trees" being bigger than what they are...Bill
Wow! That is a great looking scape. Left me speechlesss... How about a pair of apistos and some hatchets and tiny rasboras?

Even a pair of rams if you wanted something a tab bigger.
You captured the "image" of the flooded forest, even the background adds to the illusion!! Great job sir!!!
When science and magic collide, the story begins.
Thanks, I like it too but you have the coolest Amazon tank around.
Appreciate the input. I cant wait to see how it looks with my tiny tetras.
Thats quite a compliment. I really like the idea of a couple or three hatchets. I like them but have never owned any. I will update after plants grow. It should look more forest like with most of the growth near the top. I have 13 tanks but believe it or not this is the only one not in the basement and not bb. I missed having a planted aquarium.
I had forgotten about GBR. They are one of my favorites. I am for sure getting at least one of them if not a pair.
Thanks for looking. I actually just used one of the tanks I have already painted for pair of discus from when I renovated my fishroom. All of my tanks have that background paint

a couple of nice discus would add to an already great tank.
Looks fantastic... something with a bit of red would look great in there with those green plants....rummy nose
That looks great. What kind of wood is that?
It is actually some old dried vine of some type. I guess it in non toxic as my Scarlett Badis and variety of shrimp are loving life among the plants and seem very healthy. I guess its now more of an Indian flooded forest rather than an Amazon forest with the Badis Badis. lol
Scott
Yeah, but noone else will know that.
I might have to borrow/steal/adapt that style. I think I prefer the straight up and down lines rather than the gnarly multi-direction manzanita, at least I do in my upstairs tank, plus it could go really nicely with the background I want to get, which is also mostly vertical elements.
