This one was on my list for a long time already. Last time I've kept Kribensis I was still a kid 😂 Time to relive those memories and set up a tank for them! We are also adding Normal Lampeye killifish and ''rare'' Jelly Bean Tetras!

New & different but always another beautiful aquascape. Although I think that Crinum Calamistratum deserves a more prominent location as opposed to being tucked away as just a background plant.

And... They're gone. 😂 Story of my life. Nice tank, growing plants, not even a spot of algae, but... I barely see my fish. They've been in the tank for not even a week, so I should give it some time, I guess. I like this setup, very straight forward. Although I think a black background would make the colours of the fish pop more. Curious to see what's going to happen with the other tank! 😀
