Introducing World Ranking #7 in International Aquatic Plants Layout Contest 2010.
Aquatic Plants: Cryptocoryne wendtii, Cryptocoryne beckettii, Cryptocoryne lutea, Vesicularia dubyana, Anubias barteri var., Vallisneria nana, Hemianthus micranthemoides, Echinodorus tenellus, Microsorum pteropus
Fish & Invertebrates: Tanichthys albonubes, Macrotocinclus (Otocinclus) affinis, Caridina japonica, Neocaridina denticulata
Evaluation: A typical concave composition layout from Ukraine was selected for the bronze prize. Composition of the layout materials and balance of the whole layout were highly evaluated. When watched carefully, we can also see some problems in the layout. The Anubias on the right side is too big, and looks unnatural. The arrangement of Cryptocoryne in the midground and Vallisneria in the back look nice, but they grew too thick. The cosmetic sand in the middle looks dirty. The creator’s ability to maintain the layout for a long period was evaluated, but its technique caused degradation.
