what type of plants make up the hills on the first pic?

**JustOneMore20** · 04-16-2008, 05:42 PM

I believe its mostly Rotala sp. green....maybe a small bunch of Rotala sp. colorata in there (the red).

Those are probably on a slight hill, but being stem plants, you can trim them to various lengths, further creating that hilly look.

When i look at these pics, with no freshwater expereince only saltwater i would argue these pictures as fakes. Well maybe not all of them but some just look like someone inserted the picture and did some awsome photoshoping. To my surprise after reading all of these post they are real. Who would have knew? Well i guess most of you knew just not me. This kind of makes me want to try a planted saltwater tank.

Yeah...I think to me, the oversharpness (is that a word?) of the pictures makes them look fake. I have seen the pics and the specs of some of them on other sites, so I knew they were real. Most of these aquascapes (or maybe all) are setup and let grown in specifically for the contest, then the photo is take and they are torn down and rescaped. They aren't made to be long-term things, which makes sense, because they would really require some work to keep them looking like that.

It is really amazing what these people can do with plants though.

I think a scape like one of these would REALLY help my tank.... My goldies make my water lethal at times... sheesh... poop machines

If anyone is wondering how they achieved the waterfall, I found this link that explains it. http://www.aquatic-eden.com/2007/10/...nderwater.html
