Specs of tank:
2X1.5X1.5
1 36W PL; 1 leftover from luohan pinkish FL (wanna change - is another 36W advisable)
Atman 500L flowrate internal filter
base fert and gravel
some ghost shrimp (most died alread); 6 china suckers; 1 medium puffer; one albino sucker
dunno what kind of plants are there -- look nice, so i buy and put together. The DW has some taiwan/java moss mix -- but looks like dying (brownish) so gonna remove...
no co2 - manual (solution type + supplements)
so far so good, i think. Comments?
Welcome to AQ
just a few comments...
the plant behind the java fern looks like a toninas sp. not an easy plant, especially with no CO2 on the tank, the lights right now is not enough. I think the java fern is planted too deep into the substrate, these are normally tied to wood or rocks, try to hide the equipment with more plants.

Jules? Haha... Ok, in case anyone is wondering why I am laughing, it is becos I know 'Jules'
Nice looking. Using the previous tank? The java fern should not be in the gravel. Maybe I can pop by your place and lend you some help with them later.
Oh, btw, Tonnias sp. difficult? CS uncle says very easy... Hmm... I am wondering more if the pennywort type plant will survive as they are mostly bought emerged...

I'm crypt collecting... Starting cheap, now have Cryptocoryne beckettii, C.beckettii var petchii, C.crispatula var.balansae, C.griffithii(Melted!), C.nurii, C.parva, C.pygmaea(Melted!
Oh, juggling is hard work, man!...
Yippie!! Reptiles and Fishies!
your hydrocotyle vericillata looks like an emersed culture.. if so..a lot of them will want to change form soon.. so just be prepared for that..

Oh ok, so the scientific name is Hydrocotyle vericillata... Sure melt one, as it is the emersed form... If water condition is good, then will grow submersed form...

He's saying the plant with the round round leaves... They will melt as they were grown emersed (out of water) but will grow back submersed leaves soon after (if the water and lighting conditions are good). So, be prepared for what seems like a plant death...

ahsosnei. arigato.He's saying the plant with the round round leaves... They will melt as they were grown emersed (out of water) but will grow back submersed leaves soon after (if the water and lighting conditions are good). So, be prepared for what seems like a plant death...hmmm, but i bought it from this place in Yishun and it was growing submersed, so plant death may not happen. but what's annyoying is the bigger leaves on the top, blocking off light to the smaller shoots at the bottom...
hi there, i think just wanna confirm what one of the forummer has added: - tonina belem (the one in the centre left of your tank) is quite a diff plants to handle. Medium to high light, and prefers a little acidity - soft water. But that is not that important the other factor is co2 and light. I would advise getting another 55W which would be better. And if you dont want your tonina to slowly turn brown, which it will in about a week, get some Co2. yeap
