I'm thinking glosso....
What will you use as foreground if this was your tank? All suggestions are welcomed. :icon_smil

That is one nicely managed tank. Glosso should work or, maybe, try dwarf hair grass.

While the tank is beautiful, my personal taste runs more towards multi-level tanks. I would be itching to move most of the tank forward and to plant taller stems in the back.

monte carlo perhaps?

Glosso. DHG would look too much like the Blyxa.
And I agree with OVT that there needs to be tall stems in the back, move what you have to the midground.

Agree with OVT and solcielo. Leave what you already have short and to the front and get some background plants. Anything that will hide the equipment.

Thanks, probably gonna try glosso with dhg. As for stem plants, I'll save them for another scape. Got tired of trimming every week from last scape that's why i'm using blyxa as background plant

Here's pic of last scape. iphone made color a bit saturated but it looked really nice in person

Not bad at all and to each it's own.

Not to push it, but selecting the stem plants for a specific tank does take time and some searching around. Instead of using a mile a day plants, slower growers, even in a high light co2 tank, is another way to go. Want a bright yellow background? Check out Nesaea Golden, as an off-the-wall example.

Btw. I love Blyxa.

I use Nesaea Pedicellata "Golden" in my tanks and I love it. However, with Co2, ferts, and high light, this plant also grows like mad. Beautiful plant though none the less.

Here's an update. Was too impatient to order glosso so I just used petsmart's dhg and it turned out pretty good in my opinion.

That looks very nice. It's grown in well over the course of 2 months.

Before, I would have agreed with others that it could use some stems in the back. Not so much now though, that's a great look.

Where did the fish go? Looks like some molly's & tetra's are MIA?

Thanks, the blyxas grew just like how I predicted. The tallest one is already half the height of my tank which creates a beautiful background

Hey Daniel,

My fishes seemed to produced too much nitrates so I traded them all in for store credit except the rasboras and otos After that, nitrates are now always at the level I wanted.
