Fish Fanatic
I am looking to rebuild/redo one of my tanks due to a change in the viewing angle. It is a 45cmx30cmx30cm tank, that will instead be primarily viewed through the side as a 30cmx45cmx30cm tank. It will still be viewed at times through the 45cmx30cm side, but mainly the 30cmx30cm side.
The current inhabitants are black tiger darios with at least one confirmed female. There is also some red neon blue-eye rainbow fish as differ fish to increase the black tigers confidence. Alongside various cleaning crew of snails and shrimp.
I was originally thinking something like an explosion effect, creating caves that way alongside a "tree" coming out of the explosion point.
However, I quickly realised I wanted to attempt a cave/tunnel system with overhangs. Some of my original designs wouldn't have worked, but I believe I have come up with some that would.
There are three designs, one with dragon stone, another seiryu stone, and another freakstone. Each one features two larger stones at the back angled towards each other with plants coming up between them, a middle island covered with moss, a stone wall (likely to be made with polystyrene foam and coated), and a post in the front left. They are also meant to contain an overhang from the front left pillar, but it was hard to make it on the site I used.
The substrate is still a work in progress, it will have a soil base, but the cap might either be sand or another type of soil.
I hope, during the creation to make a plentiful supply of caves for the black tigers to live within.
How do these look, anything that could be changed? Which is preferred?
The stones in the designs are unlikely to be the actual stones or even type of stones, but what colour looked better.
Any opinion would be appreciated, thanks.

I’ve had it for a few years but after a cross country move I had to leave it behind but we are going to visit some people and will pick it up while we’re there along with a pond heater for a koi pond we are going to build someday. I have to rearrange my room and my dad is going to remodel the house a bit as well which will allow me to have the two new tanks. My 29 gallon I want to have a good aqua scape but I’m not sure what I want it to look like yet. There will be 12 panda Cory’s, 15 toucan tetras, 6 ottos ( not sure what kind I want yet thinking maybe tiger, or orange zebra maybe ) and then 15 Heterocharax virgulatus tetras but I haven’t gotten confirmation if it will all work yet or at least with the toucans.
