Any opinions or suggestions on how I can change my aquascape? It’s not really pleasing to me but it’s hard to get it to look right from all angles.

I would remove the middle section (looks like a bunch of stacked rocks to me), and create two separate islands....one higher than the other. Maybe just have a couple of small rocks in the middle if you want. That way the the height isn't the same all the way across.

Looks good. Wonder what if look like this rock is stacked on the rock structure on the right. Especially if you can make a plateau.

It’s difficult as the two rock pieces there don’t really come together like that. I had changed it up a bit though, and on that her side I do have some sort of a plateu shape

I think the second aqua scape is better than the first one. I would try to make is less linear if possible, to give it depth.

And also more crevices in between the rocks. This will also gice it more depth, and your fish will love swimming throught the holes.

Instead of stacking the rocks flat, stack them at a certain angle, making sure it will still be stable, so we can see gaps betweem them.

The second is more pleasing, but the first one had move holes and cranny for the fish to hide. Try to have more holes on the side next to the arches. It is fun to watch the fish go in and out of holes.

Looking good! Obviously if you like it, that is all that matters. If I changed anything it would be to "flatten" the arch so it isn't as pronounced (but still has a small swim through)....so that it is slightly lower than the right island.
