Wife doesn’t like the “Llama”

[Drew Halliday]

I finally thought I got the rock work done and the wife says I have to redo it because it looks like a Llama. Last time it was a monster. Ya it does look like a llama, and last time it looked like a monster but I really like it now. What do you think? Do I decapitate the llama or tell her she will learn to like it and won’t see it when it is camouflaged with coral? Keep in mind it is in our sitting room and I need to keep her happy to keep buying stuff.

I’m loling so much right now. It was just another aquascape until you pointed out the llama. Honestly, I’d you plan on adding corals and can envision them on this aquascape with everyone getting good light/flow then I’d stick with it.

I actually see a T. Rex on the right and a muscle bound dude on the left doing a one arm push up. Who cares? Get the corals in. The rocks are just a canvas to show your husbandry.

I would decaptitate the Llama mainly because it looks like its really close to the surface which won't leave you with much room for coral growth in the long run. If you really like the Llama head look hopefully in a few years it will comeback but as a nice coral colony

Lots of room to put corals on top, but I do think you need to follow the rules of the spiritual leader in your house or else happiness will be fleeting.

i see llama lol

I'd agree with the wife... ask her to do the aquascape and see what she comes up with. Women have the "design" intuition. You might like her scape.

I agree. Maybe have the wife help with the changes? That way she will be satisfied and involved - might be a fun project to share together.

I like the idea of getting her to help with it. She is not one to get her hands wet usually so this might be a good time to change that. She may realize that that rock has a nice home there, that it was meant to be there or maybe that she doesn’t really care. Worst case scenario we find something better. It is a little close to the surface.

But if we end up keeping the llama the important question is what do we name him/her? What do you think it looks like?

 

[fishguy242]

llama name "ROCKY" ,IS A COOL FORMATION

Bahahahaha! Too funny. Corals will eventually cover it up. Although moving it slightly may be better. Never know.

For some reason the first name to come to mind was Phil? LOL but I think he deserves an aquatic name for being able to hold his breathe for so long

You both must have one heck of an imagination cause I don't see a llama or any other animal.
Are we playing a version of where's waldo but instead it is a small llama in the tank lol.

The aquascape looks great. If I were you I would place that white ledge looking rock on it's own to create a gap dead center. The fish would love that. Other than that it seems like your wife has a really nice imagination and will create new animals with any scape you make LoL!!

Are you saying move the arch on the left further right? Or turn the cantilevered rock to point straight out?

You might be looking too small scale. Here’s the llama

I like the lama looks better than the big block wall on the left side

 

[KrisReef]

I've not much of an artist but from what I know about art, (and I have to be delicate here on our family friendly site) is that rock is clearly a symbol. Freud would likely name it a "Cigar."

The llama side doesn't bother me. The only thing I would change is that ledge rock in the center with the completely straight bottom. My eye immediately goes straight to it because it seems out of place.
