But the plant's aren't actually random... their just supposed to look random. Some of it is deliberate... tall in back, short on edges and in front, open areas for feeding, that kinda stuff. But it is NOT hard aquascaped - that's for sure. I got to cockatoos from a local breeder.They got HUGE. I mean really big. I guess in a big enough tank they can get pretty large. Unfortunately they all turned out to be a bad match with breeding discus. As you know, dwarf cichlids are territorial. So the discus would mark out an area for spawning, lay their eggs, and I'd wake up the morning after to find a dead cockatoo. Every time it happen it was after a fresh spawn. Now there are no more cockatoos. I just did not know that would happen. It's too bad, 'cuz it's my fault for putting them in there, and I really like those fish too. Bummer. Thanks!

I love what you have done with the flora!!!!! It is not landscaped and thats what I like about it!!!!! My attention draws out to randomly planted aquariums because in the wild that's how it is! Plants grow everywhere ! I just started a 55 gal planted!
