That looks wonderful! What is the red plant in the second pic. I am guessing but it must be at the right end of the tank. The wood darkened up nice. Starting the way you did on this tank really made the base fill in nice and solid.
I too love neon's.

That's fantastic!

What's that plant in the last picture? I really like it! A hygro maybe?

**A Hill** · 06-24-2008, 08:21 PM

That sure does look great!

The cabomba against the wood looks really nice as well.

Sweet tank!

**plantbrain** · 06-24-2008, 09:20 PM

There's no cabomba in there

P yatabeana
P stellata needle leaf
M matogrossense
Tonia belem
L pantanal
L aromatica
Downoi
HC obviously
Crypt blassii rosanervig
Crypt lucens
Crypt willisii
Bacopa carolina(to be replaced with langeri)
Stargrass

About it.

I'll reduce this number of species down also and might switch out some for Bylxa aubertii, fatten some areas up with more of a single species and thin others out.

Tom Barr

Those are Cardinals.
The Hygro is some weird plant, nice for scaping etc, good midground weed.
Not sure about the identity.

Tom that hygro that you have looks very similar if not exactly like my Limnophila 'mini'.

garuf · 06-24-2008, 11:35 PM

More pictures if you don't mind, I'd really like to see how the plants are growing in with a whole tank shot.
It all looks amazing to me. I'm 110% envious.

Yes MORE...MORE...

Hmm thought it was cabomba at first, I think I'm thinking of this stem...

Can you tell all stems look similar to me :hihi

Regardless the tank looks great.

beautiful espei as expected, do they always swim at the upper part like that?
are those snails on the wood?

**MedRed** · 06-25-2008, 06:45 AM

I've only seen espei not schooling at the top in their "for sale" tank at the lfs. The lfs has some in a display tank that all stay at the top. I decided to buy 10 for that reason and they also school at the top.
