The grassy looking plant on the left is Blyxxa japonica. They plant in the middle back is Rotala Green, and the plant on the left is Diplidis Diandra with some Rotala Indica mixed in with it.

Fantastic tank Marc! Very pleasant to look at! So how do you like the aqua soil? I'm thinking of ordering some.

Its great stuff! I'm using it with power sand. Growth is just amazing. It makes the water soft and acidic. If you have the opportunity to try it, you wont be disappointed.

You seem to have a very unique style and concept. I appreciate that! Your Ludwigia scape was candy to my eyes. Simple and very non-trend, but absolutely beautiful. Who cares if it's not an Amano theme or with some poetic- nature vision of rocks and driftwood. I think you did a great job, and as long as everything is happy and healthy, then it's beautiful in my book. It works just fine. Nice work!
