Hey Stan,

Thanks man. The JF and the crypts have since grown,

Will take a photo soon.

I agree, its not easy to keep discus healthy in a planted tank, very susceptible to stuff but so far I've been rather lucky it seems.

I only feed them with Hikari blood worms. No dried foods for them at all.

Update: 1 month after major rescape.

**ah^siao** · 27th Jun 2006, 22:33

the japonica at the left hand side looks out of the way

**grey_fox** · 28th Jun 2006, 08:34

Haha yah i know, initally wanted to just fill up that void (supposedly my plan was to have another DW with ferns there....) there but the japonica just grew and grew, so I'll probably just leave it there and let it grow. (pity to uproot it as its growing really good and lush)

it's going to get bigger with the increased KNO3 dosing

Teach me how to grow the Blyxa... I NEVER had ANY luck with them...

**ranmasatome** · 30th Jun 2006, 01:42

Justikanz.. they grow the same as APP.. NO3 is the secret. IF your APP grows well..then your blyxa should take to the tank as well..

**grey_fox** · 30th Jun 2006, 13:17

I think might be the KNO3 dosage. I just planted it and left it alone, started flourishing after a week or so.

**grey_fox** · 11th Jul 2006, 21:02

Got nothing much to do today. Decided to take a few photos. (sorry for the crappy shots) heh, the downoi is taking forever to grow.

**richietay** · 14th Jul 2006, 14:34

grey_fox, your tank looks great. the plants doing well and healthy, blending well together in the scape.
For the downoi, really annoying for me also, growing very slow.

guess once the downoi starts to grow and propagate, you be in time for ADA07,

**grey_fox** · 14th Jul 2006, 16:45

Hey Richie,

Thanks a bunch. Lol, yeah probably will take quite some time to get that bushy downoi forest that I want to acheive.

**grey_fox** · 19th Jul 2006, 16:53

I'm thinking of changing the foreground plant (probably will shift the downoi else where instead.

What foreground plant would suit my scape.

**richietay** · 19th Jul 2006, 16:58

recently came across this plant Hygrophilla Sp., quite nice if planted on a large scale tank.

**grey_fox** · 19th Jul 2006, 17:15

Its that red creeping plant correct? Last I heard its quite expensive yeah? Where can I get this plant?

**Justikanz** · 19th Jul 2006, 17:24

I still a couple of the plant... PM me...

**grey_fox** · 19th Jul 2006, 17:27

PMed you already.

**mickthefish** · 19th Jul 2006, 19:36

**StanChung** · 20th Jul 2006, 05:28
