AGA 2023 Aquascaping Contest: #680

DISQUALIFIED

I would not judge this as a Dutch plant aquarium. It is more reminiscent of the Dutch bulb fields.
27 plant species and a frontglass of 1.20 meters is more than twice the standard and therefore a lot.
Nice fish stock.
Technology well hidden and out of sight.

We need another category: Fruit stand V-style. I won't comment on the style as this should not be in the Dutch category. But I love the health of each and every plant when I zoom into the picture. While the style is personally off-putting to me this is a master horticulturist and you have my respect. Dutch style guide here: More tips here: https://www.aquatic-gardeners.org/Articles/Vin-Dutch/

This is to me another example where the name "Dutch Style" is given to something which actually is not a true Dutch Style layout. Sure contrasts are there and we see "streets" of plants.

However there is no balance at all is the usage of "streets" and different shapes of grouped plants. Furthermore all is focused to the front of the tank and there is hardly any variation in height among the different plant groups.
