here are some update pics.. alot of the plants are growing like crazy.. check it out and tell me what you think...

**Torpedobarb** · 04-11-2008, 05:17 AM

the aponogeton ulvaceus bulb has a long runner coming out of the top of it already.. this plant is huge. you can see how it is coming over the top of the driftwood and almost back to the bottom of the tank

**Torpedobarb** · 04-13-2008, 05:01 PM

here is an update pic without the ulvaceus. it was getting too big so I took it back and got some other plants.. spiralis towards the left rear.. and a pic of my new balloon rams.. only one would pose.. a female

Ok.. so I ditched the dwarf hairgrass idea.. tired of replanting it all the time.. I did get more chain sword or micro sword.. here are some pics.. I also got another crinum calamistratum.. the micro sword and crinum were free.. the employee was pissed at the owner.. lol..

tell me what you think!

**Torpedobarb** · 04-19-2008, 04:05 AM

lots of update pics!

Torpedobarb -

That is some explosive growth you got there. Looks like weekly maintenance is going to be a must for you.

I am looking forward to seeing her in a week or two. Once things settle in a little, the growth is going to take off even more on you.

Hope you're ready for it.

**Torpedobarb** · 04-19-2008, 04:51 AM

oh yeah... I'm up for it! it give me something to do.. it relaxes me! I hope that I can grow them good enough to pass some nice plants on to someone who needs them! not for profit

**BiscuitSlayer** · 04-19-2008, 04:54 AM

When you get some of that Limnophila aromatica, you can hook me up!

That is one of my favorite plants. Last time I wanted to try it, I didn't have pressurized CO2 or an aquarium large enough to grow it. (I still don't have a big enough aquarium, but someday soon, lol )

**lauraleellbp** · 04-19-2008, 05:16 AM

Looks awesome- I love the jungle, and I bet the fish are all as happy as... I was going to say clams but that doesn't sound right... as fish?

**Torpedobarb** · 04-19-2008, 11:39 AM

you can say heck! lol.. I will hook you up with some of the limno.. I am looking to get more of it.. I only have a few stems now.. thanks for the comments!

crimsontsavo · 04-19-2008, 07:03 PM

thejoie · 04-19-2008, 07:51 PM

WOW! That looks great! I love to see it change and grow.... I really like the variety too.

**Torpedobarb** · 04-19-2008, 11:28 PM
