The modest amount of light and no CO2 limit the choice of plants to the most robust ones. The layout is based initially on structures, forms and colours. The round, dark marine gravels and Anubias, Monosolenium and Cryptocryne Tropica create the underlying peace in the aquarium. The spider-like root, quadricostatus and Winde leaves by their light colours and "sharpness" create a strong contrast and give the impression of life and restlessness. The leaves of the soft, light green Nymphoides are under the surface.

Tips! Allow just the most robust and shadow-tolerant plants under other plants. Here, Anubias and Cryptocoryne Tropica are very shaded under the Microsorum Winde leaves.
