This amazingly manicured Dutch aquascape (that meets the incredibly strict criteria set by the Dutch Society for Aquarists NBAT) exhibits a symphony of hues, rich contrasts, shapes and textures. Low foreground greens are grown at an angle that give the overall aquascape a sense of depth and perspective, with a delightful contrast in varying heights and leaf-forms.
In this tank, Rich greens are matched against a spectrum of colourful tones:
- deep red Alternanthera reineckii "AR" in the bottom left
- orange-tipped Ludwigia pantanal above the "AR"
- Pinkish Bacopa colorata in the center of the tank
- Rusty-red Barclaya lonifolia red on the right side of the tank
- Pink/Yellow Ammania gracilis to the left of the Barclaya bush
