That is one lovely planted tank, was wondering what the plants are. Im always willing to pay something if you need a clean out of plants (cuttings etc)

these cryptos are easy... the wisteria is good...it grows fast and sucks up all of the nasty stuff and the constant pruning pulls that stuff out for good...

the amazons i have had for more than a decade... i started with a single sword and it's all i can do to keep them down...


... a planted tank is what it's all about...

the fish behave more naturally... it really cuts down on bad behavior...

... if my cory cats would just quit breeding... i have no idea how many i have now...

... i should replace the bulbs though...it's been a few years now...




... thanks for the nice things said... it would mean more though if i actually tried to grow stuff... my tank, albeit full of simple plants, is nothing to maintain... the hassle is keeping them somewhat trimmed...

.. i haven't bought a single plant in maybe five years or so... most that i have started off as sprigs... that i nursed to health and just let them be...

healthy plants=healthy water and fish...

... i do cheat though... like once a year i add some iron to the tank... other than that... i never feed them...
