I like it how it is. Sometimes too much rock makes the tank look too busy. It's a nice clean layout

i have always found that painting the back of the tank black shows the colours of the fish up even more.

 

neither the less mike looking good....a couple of my ngara males will look great in there.

 

also got some nice bi-colours coming up too.

Hey mike, I agree with jason, tank is nice and open. Other benefit to not stuffing it full of rock is water quality. More rocks = hard to clean, more pressure on filter and higher nitrates all the time.
Either way the fish are looking great... and I still really like that tank! You probably mentioned it before, but what brand/model is the tank?

I'm not too sure , I got it off gumtree from a guy he said it was all custom made about 3 years ago but tank stand and light only cost me 300 couldn't go past it at that price
