Wanted: Apisto Tank Pictures

[Crazygar]

I am considering on turning my 55GAL community (being torn down in 2 months) into an Apisto tank. What I have been looking for are pictures of other people's Apisto tanks and how they are setup.

Anyway pics would be appriciated. I'd rather see the tank in whole to see what kind of "environment" they have.

Neat stuff, thanks Andrew. I like the first tank with the sloping substrate! That must be hard to maintain with their activity level. Definately enjoy the large amount of plants as well. Its pretty dense in some areas. They must love it in there.

I am trying my hand at A.borelli as well shortly. Nice DENSELY planted tank where even I think I could get lost. Keep'em coming!

Pics of my apisto tanks are here. Haven't taken any new ones in quite some time.

I honestly enjoyed the "Green" Clay Pots. I know that this is algae and it does look quite nice and natural (as if those pots have been there for a VERY long time) in its own unique way.

The "clay pots" that I am using for my project, I went a step further and covered them in silicone with a cheapo paintbrush, and buried them in the substrate. I picked it up out of the substrate 2 days later, brushed the excess of and instant natural caves. I went one step further and covered the opening of the pot with silicone as well so you can barely see it.

As usual, its nice to see nice dense planted tanks.

Great pics, but the translation for English is "NOT AVAILABLE?". I would love to read what you have there, as a 30L tank is close (7GAL) to what I own. Will do more browsing to see if I can pick up on some details.
