It is about time for the monthly general update.
There were only a few plants added to the tank this month. HC, HM, riccia, and a few random stems. I also did a little bit of rearranging to open up the front a little more and layer the plants a little more going toward the back of the tank.
FTS - In person it is not really that dark on the ends, it is just really difficult to balance the brightness in the picture.
The plants are all doing well. The aromatica is a beast. Pulling the plants and replanting the tops seems the best way to trim it, otherwise, the stems split into so many heads that it completely blocks out all light to the bottom. I am still not getting a lot of color from it yet though. The L. ovalis is coloring up so nice though.
The new wild angels are doing really well. They are growing fast and keep up with the bigger domestics in there with them. Up close, I like the wilds better than the golds, but from a distance they just fade into the background and the golds are what you see. Makes sense though for a wild fish to be less visible.
I have been working with my new camera, trying to figure it all out. I took a couple 100 pictures last night trying different things. I thought I would share some of them with you all.
This last one was the only decent picture I could get of the cardinals, they are tricky to shoot.
Enjoy, I sure do.
