i really like the wood sticking out of the tank =) looks good. you might want to move the one plant away from the filter intake

I like the change. It'll be really nice when the glosso fills in. That is one plant I cannot grow submerged.

Getting back from vacation Saturday, and can't wait to get this project under control again, but nervous to see the damage due to lack of care.

tank is looking good, should be great when the plants fill in.

I hate to butt in to your thread but I am planning on adding some micro rasboras to my 10gallon. It is a shrimp only tank right now with 3 amanos and 4 RCS but I will be getting 10 CRS soon.

I want to either add like 8-10 boraras merah or boraras brigittae. The decision comes down to which would be the best fit for the tank. I want the shrimp to breed first and foremost, so which of the two rasboras are the less aggressive towards shrimplets? Also, which one schools the best and doesn't need as much room? Any info on the two would be great. You can PM me so I don't destroy vtkid's thread.

tanks specs: aquasoil substrate, 26watt compact flourescent (prob upgrading soon), plants:HC, riccia, pellia, wisteria

Wu-Tang Forever!

hey that looks great. i agree it will look cool when the Glossostigma grows in but it looks good now already.

are you still pondering fish? i'm sure a kuhli loach will be great.

Haha. I have two kuli loaches that seam to be very happy. My lfs won't selle fish anymore. So my mom had to buy them she was pretty angry because she thought they looked like snakes, personaly I think they are cool with there little wiskers. I'm going to get the brigittae's, I think there coloration is better Zeldar one. People have commented on both of those on this thread. Two. Wu tang is crazy to bad O.D.B. Is dead it'll never be the same... Ever heard of Jedi mind tricks, immortal tecnique?

Immortal is awesome, army of the pharoes, and de la sol are a couple more good ones. I think the fish are to small to eat the baby shrimp but they could probably hurt them.
