The Aquarium for plant lovers! This aquarium contains a large number of plants, it's colourful, contains new plants and has an impressing layout with rocks and "spider-like roots". We show with this layout how transitions can be made entirely from low foreground plants to rock formations and how to create a wedge between the rocks by using medium high plants. We use Vallisneria as an easy carpet in the background. Space is created for the Echinodorus 'Ozelot' that may be the most beautiful, coloured Echinodorus in the aquarium. Christmas moss has been attached to the roots and helps to creating depth and a sense of maturity in the aquarium.

Tip! Carpets of foreground plants help to maintain a good balance in the aquarium and need to be maintained regularly. There are many suitable species; Eleocharis, Lilaeopsis, Echinodorus tenellus… the list is long!
