Hey jacky, your tank is still looking fantastic. Lush and clean.
omg! I saw a man's face in there! nice one!
mind blown
Pretty much changes on plants in the tank. I totally remove Rotala bonsai, Ludwigia sp.red and Pogostemon erectus out from the tank. The reason partially was the stems were not that healthy after much trimming and replanted. But the main reason was I would like to try other aquatic plants in the layout.
So I have introduced in the tank some new species like Rotala Macrandra, Hydrocotyle Tripatita and Cryptocoryne Undulata. The tank has a new look with different shade of colour from orangish of Rotala Rotundifolia 'pink', light green of Hydrocotyle Tripatita, Blyxa Japonica, Eleocharis acicularis to darker green of Anubias, Moss an Cryptocoryne. It feels like more energetic and lively that way.
Recently, some minor algae issue on the older and slow grown plants like Staurogyne repens and Anubias. I tried to increase the flow with a wave maker, water change and filter clean more often. Things getting better now but not totally get rid of it. I think it is part of the game for any hobbyists. So live with it, try to minimize it and enjoy the show.
After more than a year, the scape definitely looks more mature now. And lots of lesson learnt from this scape. Instead of tearing it down to rescape, I will try to alter it bit by bit to experience more about aquatic plants and fauna habitat.
Some photos taken last night for update.
Have a great week ahead, everyone!
Rotala Macrandra: recently planted. Not at the peak of red colour yet. I think lighting should be more intensive to get it.
Platinum Rummynose Tetras have been doing well so far. They seems very hungry every time.
Hydrocotyle Tripatita at the midground and background create some interesting colour shade...☘️

"Passionately Curious" tank is still running and I still love to change the scape time to time with different plants in different locations. I really love taking care of this tank day by day. ❤️

Very motivated to get something setup like this. Cheers
hi Jacky, went through your blog from last year till date, it was an interesting read. Congrats on having a sustainable tank. By the way, you mentioned earlier that your Ludwigia SP red's stems were not healthy after trimming and replanting, may I ask how that is so? This is because if you had removed the old rooted stems and planted the top section of the plants which you had trimmed off earlier, the stems will always be healthy.
Thanks earthworm. I am glad that you like it.Very motivated to get something setup like this. Cheers
Hi torque6,
Thanks for your comment. The ludwigia sp.red stems was getting smaller/"skinnier" and smaller each time I trimmed last time. So it came up to the time that I saw it has stunned grown, so I decided to remove it from tank. It might due to the lighting and flow circulation at that corner I planted them was not at the best condition, too.
Having said that, Ludwigia sp.red in my other tank has been growing very well and nicely after every trimming. So I guess the lighting/flow condition might be the factors of its stunned growth last time.
