ADA Contest...

Post by DonkeyFish »

Anybody enter this year?? Post 'em if you got 'em!!

I decided to last minute...so my entry wasn't 100% what I would have liked it to be, but *I* thought it was better at least than some from last year so figured what the heck. Thoughts appreciated...I'm not sold on the hygro/wisteria combo, but like both plants in their own right...just kinda worked out in this tank as such. Java ferns could stand to be a little fuller in the bottom right front corner IMO, but heck. I'm just a beginner :D (SO gonna use that as long as I can!!)

FWIW, it's 6 gal that started as my "plant spa" and grow out (for fish AND plants). Apparently the spa is prospering :wink: the sunset hygro I got at the PVAS all-day (from "Other Jeff", coincidentally) is between this and my 40 gal becoming almost a nuisance!

Your tank looks nice I can remember when sunset was a staple in every store. Now the only place you can find it is at a meeting.

See. I knew I had a ways to go.... :)

Finding it hard to believe nobody else entered. Maybe they just don't want to share with the rest of us :P

Thanks Aaron. Want some sunset? :D

And I still like your tank Aaron. Whether you used it for something else before or not. :D I aspire to have tanks that look even remotely as good as yours and others on here. I am SO happy to have found GWAPA!

Are those scissortail rasboras cruisin' around the base of the rocks?

The fish are furcatus rainbows, one of my favorite fish. :D

The tank has been rescaped since that picture because I moved back in December. I'm planning another new scape sometime soon.
