I'd like to ask, are the first three pics completely different tanks, or developements of the same tank?

last note: Those barbs are perfect in that third tank!
A gardener from Holland?

Al the lay-outs are in the same tank. I had about 10 different lay-outs in the past 2 years. Just to develop my skills. Not always with success.
I learned a lott from watching other peoples tanks.

The last aquascape has not matured yet. Especially the lotus (8x) must be trimmed and kept low for this aquascape to give the wood some space. The bare foreground.... well I am considering some glosso but I like the light contrast.

As for the barbs : not ok for a planted tank. Sometimes they have the habbit to feed on the Eustralis stellata, tenellus etc. I removed them beacuse it was not funny to have your plants trimmed....when you got home..

Thanks all for watching.
