I have no idea about the plants' names, to be honest.
i used to have a bunch more that i bought from a lfs, but ALL of them melted/died due to lack of skill on my part. so what's left are the 'easy' plants i guess.. the tank has 2 8w cfl. no co2. no ferts (or very little fert dosing - i have a bottle of liquid fert that i squirt in there maybe once a month). minimum care. i don't even do weekly WC anymore.
thanks! those peppers are ada substrates that was 'carried' by the snails. i can spot 2 types of snails in the tank - originates from plant hitchhikings.
I really like the rocks with the sand. what kind of rocks are those? when the plants in the middle grow taller, your fish will probably feel a little more comfortable around you with the extra places to hide. I've had that issue with a shoal of carinal tetras. takes time but they should adjust.
Thanks Fat Guy. I have no idea what kind of rocks these are as well. I found them at my hometown's waterfall area.
Do you think it will look better if the plants at the middle grow taller? I was only planning to have them half-tank high. At the moment I am still trimming them real low and replanting that space - it is not fully planted yet.
Thanks thefisherman. No mixed substrate. It is just Amazonia ADA Substrate. That's all. The tank has undergone several rescapes (it's been about 1 year old now).
Yeah, I was thinking of red plants but I haven't found any that I can grow in this low tech non co2 non fert tank. I did try Alternanthera once, but they just melted and melted and never grew back... :icon_eek: That's when I decided to fill up that center area with 100% rotala. I kind of like how it is now...

THANKS FOR THE LOVE GUYS! I really appreciate your nice comments.. roud:
Thanks fishboy199413, I do feel some red would give the tank nice color as well... just that I can't find any red plants that work in my tank so far, with no co2, and non ferts condition...
