hi guys, an update...
algea crew and faunas are in!

yes! its growing out new shoots!

base on what i observe..
the plant that grows the fastest is the HC..
slowest was the UG and blxya dosn't seems to grow much other than some stalks have copperish colour..

hi guys... an update is here!
lets look back at around 1month back a picture of my tank.

just few days ago, i decided to remove the UG since it was not creeping at all. replaced with a few stones of spiky moss. can anyone think of better plants to replace that? not sure if the moss will grows out nice


HC and blxya japonica is bubbling like crazy everyday..
HC creeping really slow..


my favourite plant! the eriocaulon sp. have grown quite alot new leaves since day 1 of planting.


the pebbles of spiky moss.. mighr get a few more small ones and fill up the empty space.


comments please. thanks for vewing

hi guys. its been some time since i last updated.

some changes has been made to this tank..
first of all.. as usual. the front tank shot..
i planted 2 small stalks of crypt. wendtti green at each corner among the blyxa and now its leaves its shooting out..
i also replaced the spiky moss on pebbles with japanese hairgrass.



this eriocaulon sp has been growing very well. but sadly. some hairalgae has been trying to grow on it. i had to manually clean it's leaves every other day.



just bought this eriocaulon sp today. can anyone id this 2 erio i got?


creeping HC.. some parts abit brown...


the same old angle shot..

Your Blyxa japonica is growing so well... it's interesting how they all ended up the same height Great tank!

thanks bro. but strangly with more than 4wpg lighting over it. they bubble like hell. but most of the stalks remained green. im worried of them growing too tall.. as you compared from the first picture.. they are so short.. now quite tall and so lushed.. my ceramic diffusor also get hidden already

Evo,

this looks like your old CRS tank .....

really? i see great difference.. anyway, thanks for your comment

[EvolutionZ]

my apistogramma kept uproot my HC.. and BBA has taken over it.. i guess due to it's super slow growth.. will be getting Glosso to replace HC.. meanwhile HC all taken out.. getting ready to plant glosso tomorrow.

my 4 eriocaulons!

[oblivion]

hahah im not meaning to make fun of your misfortune...
but erhmm i think some of us warned about the possibility of the apistos digging and foraging around and uprooting the hc

guess it really happened

[torque6]

wa, just had a glimspe of your huge bubble bee nerite snail, you are really keeping it well fed

[EvolutionZ]

update..
tank shot..


angle..

breeding apisto now so having a pot here.. tied some US fissiden on it..


C.parva at the back.. eriocaulons in the middle.. and glosso among them..

[Jervis]

Looking good bro... must have taken you hours to plant them one stalk at a time The Crypt parva is an interesting mix too.

[EvolutionZ]

thanks bro... luckily i have bought a 30cm long planting tweezer.. if not planting those glosso with small small twezzer is going to break my back! haha..
initially was thinking of using the parva for my other tank.. since i have left overs, i just placed it there..
