I think it filled in nicely!

Looks alot bigger than a 85 gallon to me for some reason.

Good job

Update:
2.12.11

Sold my clown loaches and tiger barbs and I now have 20 Harlequin Rasboras
You can barely see them in this pic as they're still pretty small. About 0.5-0.7" lol
The school is smaller than I imagined so I might up it to 30.
Suggestions?

i think this would look nicer with a back background.
i'm impressed with the growth.

**jkan0228** · 02-12-2011, 07:28 PM

Due to the filtering system, theres nothing I can do about it

**jkan0228** · 02-20-2011, 05:13 PM

Just a quick update:
Added 3 amano shrimp(hope nothing goes wrong XD)
Added Hydrotriche Hottoniiflora
Added Ludwigia Peruensis
and added some Cryptocoryne Parva

2.26.11
Two days away from my birthday! XD

Added 5 smaller amanos, I hope that my rainbow sharks leave them alone

. Funny story about the Amanos, the sales clerk at The Wet Spot counted the 5 as only 1 so I almost got 5 amanos for 1.95$! lol I say almost because my dad made me go back and tell the truth :P
As you can see, I've completely hacked back the left side.I pulled up all the plants and replanted them more loosely apart. I then plunged in 30 root tabs on the left side alone

Here are the two bunches:

Here are the two bunches that I didn't replant

I just read your journal. I hope that you had a very good birthday. Happy Belated Wishes! Your tank is very pretty.

That is some amazing growth in such a short period of time.

**jkan0228** · 04-02-2011, 09:02 PM

Thanks

Just added a few plants:
Blyxa Japonica:

Not sure about the clump on the left.... Suggestions?
Sunset Hygro on the left and 3 puny stems Rotala sp. 'butterfly' on the right

有植物的魚缸真是清爽啊

**jkan0228** · 04-10-2011, 03:31 AM

Update:

Just did a huge trim

**jkan0228** · 04-30-2011, 05:48 PM

I did a major trim of the right side of the tank because the stems of the P. Erectus and L. Repens weren't looking so good.
So thats that...
Before:

After:

PS. The osmocote root tabs are really starting to its effect on the plants.. especially the Amazon.. I get about a leaf that grows to the surface every 4-5 days....
Also have some Staurogyne Repens coming in on Monday or Tuesday in which I will be replacing my HC carpet with it...
