| Additional Information |
The idea of this scape is to get heavy on one side, and open ground on the other side. In order to get nice lawn in the open ground, glosso and crypt parva choose do their jobs. There are some rocks act like divider between these 2 plants.
The 3 main rocks, between those gaps placed taiwan moss, to get a nicer scape with moss grow out from gap. At the other gap, place with bolbitis, the purpose is to create more layer, which will directly create more depth to the scape.
At the right end, Blyxa Japonica and nana "petite" placed to cover the legs of rotala, and also to enhance the end corner, make it less sharp edge feel.
For the Background plants, i choose rotala rotundifolia and Didiplis diandra. The didiplis purposely put infront of rotala due to they tend to grow more bushy, and pink color top due to high light. Rotala place the behind is to enhance the whole scape, creating red area(not too big area) within those green plants. With the combination of the rotala and didiplis, will make the background looks more dreamy.
Therefore i name the scape as "fantasy playland". The name playland chosen rather than playground is because the concept of wide open ground. The term "fantasy" chosen is because the combination of the greenish foreground, and lowly increase to pink and red background give viewer a dreamy feel, which is my main purpose during initial set up of this scape.

The substrate looks to flat for this layout. With a low slope to the background this scape would look fantastic. The group of R. rotundifolia could be a little bit smaller and the final shot has very cloudy water.
Oliver Knott says...
Nice idea. A small fish group will be fit in very good in this aquascape.
