I don't think this has been posted before. I love the basketmouth (acaronia nassa I believe) that appear in this one.

I got seven guianacara owroewefi last week, I have been going through a few vids to get some ideas for the scape.

Nice, I was only looking at some of those yesterday.
There just the right size for a nice display.
What size tank have you got them in Dan?
Any planned tank mates?

Only got my big tank at the moment so there in it. Have a small shoal of Pristella maxillaris and a few Corydoras aeneus, still trying to decide if I will up the numbers of the tetra and corys or add some different spp.

Sounds like a great set up in the making. I can imagine a large school of the pristella would look very nice.
I believe nannostomus nannostomus are quite wide spread in Suriname.
Apistogramma stiendachneri is also native.
I think you've got some great species to choose from.
I'm sure the tank will look great and I look forward to seeing it.
Good time of year to be setting up a new tank. Loads of free decor falling off the trees.

Dan, not sure if you have seen this video but I always thought it looked like a great tank.
