I would like to see 2 or possibly 3, things with the Freshwater Aquarium:

1. The ability to have a 'black' background. I often use black paper on the rear of my aquariums as with the tank normally lit it makes the fish colours stand out so well.

2. The ability to show 'shoaling' or 'schooling' behaviour. A tank with dark driftwood, heavily/lushly planted with a black background and a shoal of 30 to 40 Neon Tetras, Cardinal Tetras, Glowlight Tetras or Harlequins is a glorius sight as they all swim in ever changing formations.

3. The ability to 'colour' the water to reflect the conditions in an Amazonian river - Tetramin sell a 'Blackwater Tonic' which colours the water varying shades of yellow to brown to reflect the dissolved organic elements to be found in such waters (it is used to soften the water, lower the pH, and to 'condition' the water by the addition of humic and other organic acids).

Hope this helps.
