Rooty scape.

[cobrafish]

Hi people!

Just here to share my rooty setup!

Just set it up yesterday, still awaiting the moss to mature and make the setup look like 2 trees.

Hardware
1.5ft tank

Fuana
Tetra,rummynose and CPO

Here goes!



Do guide me along for any areas I should improve on.

Not new to fish keeping but very green to scaping.

Cheers,
COBRAFISH

can't really see from the picture, but it doesn't see like you have a slope front to back...you could try that. a slight gradient from front to back and straighten out you substrate line.
Are you thinking of increasing your waterline?
other than adding more plants I can't think of anything.good job!
maybe the more experienced forumers could give more useful input

Just wait for the moss to mature. Once it covers the upper sections of the driftwood it will look pretty nice. Adding some other stem plants at the back might help to create variety.

Hi cephelix, thanks for your input. Yep doesn't have any slope. maybe I can add more soil in, still have half a pack left. Thinking to add more plant at the right side, left a small portion untouched, awaiting the moss to mature and then maybe add some other low maintenance plants there. Not going to increase my water line, infact I've reduced as the HOF water outlet is submerged in the water, did not create enough oxygen for the fishes. they all gapsing for air. ;( any other suggestion for my to add oxygen with my current HOF? would want to increase the waterline, now my top moss half outside water.

Thanks for your input stormhawk! Yes, can't wait for it to mature to have a tree look. But am facing a issue now which is i had to reduce the water line due to lack of oxygen as my HOF is submerged inside the water, the water didnt splash on the surface to create oxygen. Now my top moss half outside water.

You just setup yesterday and already put in the fauna?

Cpo? they will dig around... after you plant it will go disturb....

cpo still a crayfish, its in its nature.. so mentally prepare to replant

Moss growing outside of water is acceptable as long as they have moisture. Most of the mosses we have are able to grow outside of water in a moist environment.

Shadow raised an important question. Since it was set up not long ago, cycling may not have been completed. You might want to get some test kits to check the water quality. If there is a sudden nitrite spike your fishes might die.

The tank is already there for 2 months with the cpo and tetra already. Wood has been soaked in boiled water before placing it. So it's like a rescape actually.

thanks for worrying
