I really like that tank!
very sober, but also all natural looking materials (yeah, the plant left = plastic, but it looks good :lol: ).

and I really like the fact that you took the effort to put in a fine looking background.

I see far too many people "gushing praise" over tanks that look thru right at dangling wires, wallpaper or that horrible blue plastic lots of people seem so fond of.

and sand.....sand is cool! far better than pink or blue gravel :roll:

yeah, nice tank. :wink:

Thanks! It was ment to be a rocky background for Malawi or Tanganyika. I also made some hollow rocks. But after a while I came across clarias and I was really intriged by this fish.

I've kept and bred S. petricola for many years.

Former setup:

But it never really worked out the way I wanted it to be...

Next tank will be more rainforesty... :lol:
