A small aquarium layout featuring Colors In The Field, 64.8 L, by Gustavo Pimenta. The composition is built around Dark Wood with Yosei Stone.
Hardscape (Dark Wood, Yosei Stone) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. On the plant side, the layout leans toward slow-growing epiphytes with species such as Anubias barteri ‘, Mini Coin’, Anubias nana Petite — trim in layers so hardscape still breathes. Planto Pro substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Netlea AT5 560S Full Spectrum lighting sits at a approachable technical level for this small aquarium. Eheim Ecco 2234 filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. Low-tech tip: favor slow growers and avoid dense planting if filtration is modest.
Livestock (Hyphessobrycon amandae, Hemigrammus rodwayi) fits this small aquarium — prefer species that will not dig up the substrate and wreck hardscape lines.
