So I started prepping my first Mischling tank (after a good bit of researching) about 7 weeks ago. Now it finally looks nice enough to share.

You can see how it started to now, and some of my Mischlings & TB's that call it their new home.

Thanks again to everyone who answered all my questions and looking forward to sharing future progress.

Maybe you guys can help me ID this plant that I have in the tank.

I have asked in other section before and was told Syngonanthus Sp. but it's flowering now and I have not figured out what exact species it might be.

Its breeding Taiwan Bee x CRS or CBS

Side note: If I don't remove the eori flower the plant can die is this true? :icon_eek:

I heard it was a myth, but I don't really keep plants- so what do I know?

Only one way to find out. Hopefully if you have other erios in the tank like 2-4 this one is expendable. Do an experiment and let it flower.

Congrats! So what did you feed them prior to leaving that allowed them to survive on their own for a week?
