Hmm that looks reall nice.
That patch of white sand just bothers me for some reason.

its been a while since ive updated, the endlers have bred like crazy and i have about a 100 of them now. Theyre hard to photograph they move so fast. need to sell some. trimming is a PITA especially the hair grass. neting it out is a biznitch, i get about 10 endlers every time i scoop. anyone know how to trim java fern? mine are getting to big for the tank.

FTS

A lot of endlers





Dirty Pipes

Whirlpool of Death

Another FTS

What a fantastic forest! Really really nice tank. I may have seen it before, but I never seem to think of hairgrass short like you have yours. The lawn is really cool.

Cool

i really like your setup i seem to like the more grown in jungle look over the neatly pruned look cause it looks more natural to me and i like the natural look

to prune the java fern, it's best to remove it from whatever it's attched to, and trim off portions of the rhizome into individual plants, you can reattach some of the smaller portions and then sell the rest.

Your tank looks fantastic, it must be fun to watch all those endlers.

Dollface - Thanks for the info i'll definatly put it to use!

Quick update
A friend of mine wanted to set up a planted tank after seeing mine and since i was getting sick of haveing 4 types of carpeting plants, i gave him all my glosso from this tank. i also gave him some java moss, java fern and stems.
if all goes as planned, the hair grass will spread where the glosso was and carpet nicely. ill post some pics later..

P.S. im not sure how many australians are on this site but if theres anyone in melbourne that wants to buy some endlers just let me know.

heres some pics after i took out the plants for my friends tank, i planted some more hair grass from my other tank to fill the space the glosso was. the HC is temporary, ment for another tank i will be starting soon.




i tried to take pics of the endlers again, but there just too fast especially when people come up to the glass. so instead i tryed to take a video hoping it would turn out beter than the pictures, it didnt really work but here it is:

Oh man, I love videos so much, somehow you can never capture the full essence of a tank in just a photo. Your swarm of endlers is amazing, it must been fun to watch them.

It's gonna look great when the hair grass fills in, can't wait.
