Well, see, everyone4's got different ideas on that... the winner of the 1st place actually went and collected all native fish and plants from the Houston Texas area. I;'m not sure that tank necessarily looks the most biotopically-correct, but has the right flora and fauna. Max's tank very much looks the part, but none of the flora is really south american. I think this is where the judges tend to ding the points. Some of the people at the convention even thought it should have been disqualified because of the Anubias! Gad Zukes, that's hardcore! If we did that, only one tank would have even been still left standing in the category. - Erik (Apologies for the bad proofing on this post.
