I told you :) — we’re going to see a lot of these in the near future, and I already look forward! A hardscape by Sand Watana.

Nice montain scape.

This one, called "Golden Hour", got the 14th place on IAPLC, a Honorable Mention on AGA, and the 6th place on CBAP. Would like to thank all my team members and teachers (André Longarço and Luca Galarraga) for the support and patience along this great year.

This tank, also from the Brasilian Contest (2nd place in nano category), is a perfectly executed example of a rocky landscape aquarium in very tiny dimensions (25 litres only!)   Perfect balance, stunning planting, wonderful reflections — but again, fairly small size for Amandas (Hyphessobrycon amandae) :D something’s wrong with me today, it seems.

For clarity's sake: those are juvenile Amber Tetra going from back to middle (some says it is not the best fish position, but I like it) on a 28mm lens. It is not ease to find nano fish for these proportions on a 45cm tank, even the Amber Tetra are not ideal for this layout. Wish I had some juvenile Boraras Brigittae :)
