You can get from Seaview, polyart, MizuWorld. I got it from Mizu & C328

ok will take not of that. its a nice background plant

[dagger13]

actually you should fill up the left side of your tank to make it more balance as you are having to focal point in your tank from what i see you right is fuller whic makes your left side of the tank looks sparse.

Had rescape a bit after this photo taken, the Gayi is growing a bit messy as they provide runner. Had to trim every now & then. Will update again when the crypt grow back, most of them had melted and now only grow out few plantlet.

Mostly turn on only 2 x 54W T5HO tube for 9hr a day.

yeap, agree, but do you have better lighting, hard to see actually.

Tried white background??

My verdict...
It's ready for competition.

PS. Before that, make the background/ water body less green, photo-shop or anything.

Are we able to edit with photoshop and send it for competition, i though they want original and not edited one?

This is the only light set i have currently, had on 4 x 54W for photo taking.

Tried white background??

Wish to but difficult, it is very heavy & very near to the wall. Will try one weekend to try taking out the black sticker.

Your little fish are very ill disciplined, swiming all over the place like that. Should be a nice scape when everything grows back. How about putting some big fish in?Redline barbs, rainbows or discus.

Not familiar with competition rules and judging criteria, but I feel an overall/ blanket tonal enhancement should be permissible so long as there's no doctoring here, there, everywhere.

Was feeding them when taking photo!! All going for the food.

Will slowly replace by Altum angel.

The water remains cloudy... or is it the pix?

Is the lousy camera I am using.. The water is a bit yellowish as I add in ketapan leave.

Did a minor recape, shift the DW, add in more lapis sand. And shift the needle leave java to the left.

Will take out the moss wall in near future, as it does not seem natural.

Comments & advise are always welcome, am trying to improve as much as possible.

Anyone has keep gayi before?? I am starting to have problem to keep them in one area as they start to prodive runner all over the place.

Does all needle java fern grew so long? I saw some tank they grew pretty short.

Should be, but do not know how long it take to reach that length. Those long size fern are bought from bro here.

Those shorter ones are grown from plantlet since Feb08.

Maybe, lighting & fert play a part.
