plants look great. Sunset hygro is one of my all time favorites, darn thing would just take over my tank in a metter of days. I had to part with it some time ago .
The R. Macranda looks a little bald on the bottom but the tips look like they are doing fine.
Your fish are very nice as well!

 

[dufus]

The macranda just got in a week or so ago in not ggreat shape. i think it got a little cold in shippment.
I have some good pics, but not uploaded to phototbucket yet, and i don't have time tonight. maybe tommorrow.

I really like how the tank is looking. Looks like your photo skills are getting much better, too!

 

[Color Me Blue]

I too like it's transformation. Very nice! That's quite a bit of fauna too!

 

[mrbelvedere]

What's the green lily-like plant?

 

[Color Me Blue]

I believe it's his taiwan nymphiodes.

 

[Jessica]

I wouldn't be surprised if your rainbow shark is the culprit for munching the holes in your leaves. Does he harass anyone?

yep

yes, he harrases Whoever he sees while not eating, lol.
He's about 7 years old, much like a grumpy old man on his front porch!

yep, we're overstocked to the max, looking into canisters.

Thank Nikon company for that! i have been practicing alot though.

 

[A Hill]

I have to agree. The tank has come a good ways! Certainly overstocked!

Looks great!

As the title implies, the tank currently has no real scape. it is just basically my firdt big high tech tank, and i stuffed it with plants, which i am now regretting, but now that i have all this under my belt, i can focus on the thing i love most.........nature.

i may leave this tank basically as is, or rescape it later, but for now i have so much other stuff going on, i don't have the time to rescape it correctly, plus the flourite clouds to a point of fish stress, and to prevent that, i have to follow my hand with the python!

But, hopefully my grandparents will agree with me and buy a big tank for mostly discus. But i agree'd that if we get a discus tank, it will be low light/tech.

I am getting rid of most of the taiwan nymphiodes, they take over if they aren't trimmed once a week. so after that, it won't be so crazy. when the rotala macranda healthens up better, i am getting rid of the rotala indicafolia. the wisteria definately has to go, and the sword is getting rather large too.
