Marko- yes, Willow moss is going to go on the driftwood one of these days...

Jace- the substrate actually is very sloped; it's about 5" deep on the right side of the tank and 2" on the left side. The pics don't show it very well, however. There's also a slight front-to-back slope.

Thanks fsh

Mon. 5/5/08 Update

Well something went awry with my light timer settings while I was gone (according to my hubby they were on too much) and I came home to lots of brown algae.

Also the fish seem to have uprooted most of the Bacopa 'pantanal' and several of the E. africanus as well *sigh*

So tomorrow I'll do a good PWC, clean some algae, and replanting. On the bright side, there are some new leaves finally coming out of a few of the E. tenellus 'narrow'.

Found an Amano molt. I never can see most of my Amanos, so I really hope the fish aren't finding and eating them after molting?
