my first try on iwagumi setup :)

[fireblade]

this is a small betta tank which measure 4" x 6 "
not sure if the gravels is suitable for planting, thinking of having HC as foreground and tennulles/ flame moss for background
please give me your comments..

Thank you..

that the artificial gravel, I don't think it is suitable for plant

[luenny]

Your rock formation and the ground level looks ok but like Robert says, don't think the gravel is suitable. And what are those 2 yellow stones?

[fireblade]

those pebbles I will remove them...
sian... maybe can grow moss/fissiden on top of it?

thought of trying riccia?

i have the same problem. mine is fine quartz so i think i cant grow hc.

have decided riccia . alot of tutorials if you google it.

[fireblade]

riccia... won't it float and too big for this mini tank..

[cwtan12]

You will have problem controlling e. tenellus

[fireblade]

humm...
I am actually trying to salvage whatever from my 2 feet planted tank..
humm maybe will try APP but think APP too big for this tank also..
2 pots of HC died in my hands liao... don't wish to kill anymore HC else wallet burn hole..

[fireblade]

added a few plants today..

The rocks don't cut it imho, but nevertheless good try

I've a feeling the plants will overwhelm the rocks in time.

removed everything in the tank and redo it..
no gravels is Gex Red packet (my!! starting to invest more money!!)

here is the new look..
got this piece of rock by the seaside in Malaysia..
still thinking it is not a good choice..
looks like I am wasting the HCs again...
actually wanting to wait for HC to grow well but looks like going to fail again..
comments please
is the rock too big?

[luenny]

The rock is a bit too big for the scape. Looks like it's the main attraction and not the others. Doesn't blend in to the scape. You might want to try a few smaller rocks instead of 1 big one.

i always find cube tanks hard for aquascaping, im currently using the gex genoah ones with iwagumi as well. As most feedback refers, main stone is way too big for your tank. Can try Chan at NA, saw a new batch for rocks just came in last week.
