    Hi folks,

    I'm quite happy with my 2 ft tank except for the foreground (failed glosso due to black ball-shapred algae) and right corner where the overhead filter outlet is (about 10 cm by 10 cm area). I will be getting some foreground plants from wks. Any suggestion and plants to give away for the right corner currently occupied by pearl grass (hm) which I will move to the mid-ground ? Thks.

    I work in Suntec and stay at Woodlands.

    Thks.

    Cheers,
    Peter

    I guess any stem plants with moderate leave size can do - eg. Bacopa caroliniana. Or consider small rosette plants like Corkscrew Val. or Sagittaria subulata.

    You can actually put in Tiger Lotus. They will reain small in a small tank and it gives a nice red contrast. Juz nip the floating leaves and you'll be fine.

    Thks guys.

    Val. sounds like a good idea. I failed with it when i first started even though it's suppose to be an easy plant. Maybe will try again.

    Tiger lotus ... where to get it and is it expensive ?

    Corydorus : Which tower are you at ? I'm at Tower5. I've metup with Jade and Gchoo who worked nearby before. Keep in touch.
