My new 7x2x2 Amazon Background!! (Dialup Warning)

[scat35]

Hey Guys

A few weeks ago a mate of mine from the Perth Cichlid Society agreed to have a crack at making a Amazonia background for my 7x2x2.

This tank was a malawi tank but have been leaning toward catfish alot more lately

So this is the result.

First cutting the background to size. ( Neil who made this background has a different thread on the building of it )







Then fitting it in the tank.






And with lots of work in between here is the finished job ( will add the fish next weekend )
All credit to my wife for the aquascaping


The full shot.





The left side.





The right side.






The middle.





All opinions welcome

Cheers

P.S all credit for the awesome background goes to Neil from the PCS

Personally I would prefer a bit more decoration in the tank, so the fishes can shelter behind / under the wood.

But I agree, it is also a shame not to have full view on the background - it is worth looking at for a long time

Thanks Bas Pels

Ive left room for slate caves to be put in soon and have some other premade breeding caves to go in there also ( you will see one of those in the middle pic)

The pics are deceiving and the rear part where the plants are (from the pebble/rock divider ) theres still 10 inches of space from the rock divider to the background.

Cheers
