Thanx Simon. So which is which? The tall one is C. beckettii? How about the little ones? Anyway can't find C. blassii in The Crypt Pages.

[Simon]

C. becketti is the taller one, the smaller ones on the left r wenditti and balssii shld be somewhere off centre to the left

[vinz]

Simon, you talking about C. balansae? The tall crypt?

[hwchoy]

C. balansae should be those with the long strappy leaves right. So C. beckettii would be the tall crypt with the long stalk? How come all are Ceylon crypts, no local crypts?

for those trying to learn about crypts, the C. balansae is recorded (according to the crypts pages) as C. crispatula var balansae.

[Simon]

no vinz, is another one I got from the pond

[Mez]

wow!
Great looking tank! Good job guys!
Another thing, i finally get to see the mods faces!
Didnt get to see Simons face though..just the back of his head

[Simon]

kekekee.. till the next time james

[sherchoo]

James,

I don't mind taking a pic of Simon and post it here, if you want..... He's a bit picture shy.....

[Simon]

next time, i wear a paper bag over my head

[kelstorm]

james, no loss.. hahaha.. i think simon looks better with the brown paper bag with holes cut.. hahahaha... [] []

hmmm.. why is it that i get the feeling that simon is gonna "kill" me by making partthe 9ft tank??? []

[Simon]

kel, wat makes u think I'm gonna kill u for that? can I have my 2ft light back?

[tawauboy]

impressive looking tank.
base fert is sooooo thick, about 3-5".

was there today, sat 12/10 at around 5.30pm.
think a fellow forumer was there as well.
care to id yourself?

[kenny_G]

Won't it be better if the fertilizer is pushed slightly away from the glass and fill the gap with substrate? that way the tank will look better without 2 layer of colours and algae will not flourish so soon.

tank update, picture taken on 02nov2002






comparing from the last photo shoot, this Rotala Macrandra has grown bigger, especially at the tip

Teo added some beautiful rams...

[Mez]

Very good!
Those rams are nice..here is mine when he was an adult..now passed on..i think died from old age.



That pic makes me want to start a small planted tank..with some cardinals..and a pair of apisto..hm...[]

Wat else is going into that tank? any ideas?

[Simon]

recent pix
there r 300 cardinals in there, around 8-10 rams

[Allen_1971]
