Dutch aqauscaping

[Victor Cheong]

Hi seniors

Will like to purchase a new 2 ft tank to be used for Dutch style.

Please let me have your comments on the placement of the plants.

RG - Rotala Green
SR - S. Repens
MM - Marsilea Minuta/Hirusta etc.
CW - Crypt Wendii
ET - E. Tellenus

Left corner not yet decided please let me have your suggestion for this.

Usually get my plants from Seaview, thks.

I will not recommend E .tellenus, it will run wild and take over your Marsilea Minuta/Hirusta.

For dutch style aquascapes, try to arrange the plants with different colors in alternating rows. Avoid placing 2 plants with similar color or leaf shape/size side-by-side. The basic concept is to create more striking contrasts between the rows of plants.

I agree with AQMS too... E. Tellenus will tend to shoot long runners across the tank and grow new bunches at other random areas, can become a hassle to keep under control.

Hi all

May I check with you on the visual difference of Rotala macrandra vs Ludwigia palustris?

Previously bought this plant which I deemed is AR mini from Seaview but ended up growing till the tip of the tank. Could you please advise on how AR mini is being packaged in Seaview?

Thks.
