The Planted Tank Forum - View Single Post - Help with my first nano (56k, I feel your pain)

I just got Amano's 2nd book - the one focusing on small to medium tanks. One of the recent AGA issues has a tank similar to yours (with the small wood making a "V" shape).

I might try something in just the middle (between the "V"). A reddish stem or a reddish plant could really look great. Barclay longfolia red, maybe? I don't know how big they get in comparison to your set-up. I've got a tiger lotus that's staying small (leaves under 1") in a nano (unheated, but w/ DIY CO2, excel, lots of ferts, onyx sand, occasionally filtered and 13W CF).

Anubias nana (at least mine), tends to have, at most, 1" leaves. Anubias nana "petitie" (at least mine) has leaves that are about 1/3rd to 1/4th that size - about 1/4".
