The all-new RH Fish Tank...
New plants, new driftwood/rocks, same fish, same tank: The RH Fish Tank was today given a major rescape in preparation for the coming 3-month holidays and the year to come... Why?
1) Simpler Maintenance
Plants were chosen for their non-rampant-growing characteristics, allowing for less frequent trimming and re-planting.
2) Professional Look
Experts in the aquatic-scaping field were employed for the job because they knew what plants, driftwood and rocks to use, and where to put them for the best look.
3) Professional Consideration
While planning and scaping the all-new RH Fish Tank, these experts took into consideration the surroundings (including our two-way-viewing requirement), the lighting, the ambient and water temperature, the fish and shrimps, where to insert root fertilizers for the plants, advise us on liquid fertilising dosage, everything. Kok Tiong and I do not have such knowledge to successfully plan and execute such a scape.
4) Long-lasting Setup
This all-new RH Fish Tank look will last for another year or two at least without having to re-do anything major. Of course the water top-up and fortnightly water change is still necessary.
5) My Farewell Gift
This is my farewell gift to the RH Fish Tank, something i am proud to leave behind for the benefit of RH and the residents. The RH Fish Tank will be left in optimal condition therefore there should be no excuse for its failure in my absence. I hope everyone will take good care of it, enjoy it, and appreciate it.
Scaping Description (from my point of view)
The scaping is made to look like a natural river setting, with the rocks a part of the riverbed and the driftwood a fallen trunk/branch that has plants growing from it. There are numerous nooks and crannies for the fish/shrimps to hide (and make out) so that they would not be overly stressed as opposed to living in a sparsely planted tank with no hiding places.
Although this means that you will see less of the fish at one glance, this scape encourages you to look more closely and patiently. Being still and watching patiently will allow you to notice the fish as they peek from their hideouts because when the fish notice outside movement they would usually go into hiding or dart around; frantic behavior.

The water is a tad cloudy/dirty for a day or two because of the dirt disturbed during the rescaping, it will clear up and look better for sure:

although my photography skills not that good:

I sincerely hope you will enjoy and appreciate the RH Fish Tank as much as i have enjoyed setting it up and maintaining it for you...
