My Aquarium as of today

[AnA]

Below is my aquarium as of today. I am thinking of adding some ADA drift wood but seem to be difficult as the 2 "moss mountains" had grown too huge and no space for any additional of drift wood. I think I may have to re-scape in order to add the DW. Maybe I should just leave it as it is...see how.

WOW! Thats a GIANT huge moss ball! Wondering what will happen in the centre of the moss, moss in darkness?

are those rocks that the moss have attached to?

but its a nice tank. always love to see moss growing so well. may i know what type of moss are those?

[AnA]

Yes, huge moss ball. The one on the right has a big drift wood supporting it. So, may not be as huge as it looks. The moss is doing well but my java fern cannot really make it. I have somehow clear all the fern.

Many of the cherry shrimp are hiding inside the huge moss. Guess is their safe home. Use to have more shrimps last time but now the population has reduced.

Thanks...actually the moss does not attach to anything. It started with just moss of a 50 cents size. I just placed it beside the huge driftwood and it grows to a certain size. Then, I transfered some to the left side and now I got 2 mountains of moss.

Yes, I am considering those type. But, the branches are too huge when I was at NA. Maybe got to get those like stick structure type.

Nice giant moss mountains! Wonder how happy if my shrimps living in there.
The glosso just planted?

[leechaorui]

Do you use chiller?

[vwsj84]

Your 2 moss mountains look really amazing.
Anyway, you mentioned that your shrimp population has decreased, any reason for that?

Are the two plants at the left of the tanks taco? You must have spent a lot on this tank. Very nice setup. Very pleasing to the eyes.

beautiful tank, did u add any fertilizers?

what type of moss did u used? very nice as it fan out nicely.

[AnA]

Yes, the glosso just planted. Will try to force it down and hope it spread sideway. I think my light is not strong enough to penetrate my 2ft height tank.

Thanks, no chiller. The temperature is around 28.5 degrees on average.

[AnA]

Thanks vwsj84, actually, I did not do much; these moss just grow by itself.

Yes, the shrimps population decreased and it could be due to the endlers. The baby endlers may feed on the baby shrimps? However, I have not witness that and just solely guessing. Maybe other reasons...

Thanks wenwei, I did not add any fertilizer for very very long time. At least 2 years ago or more without fertilizer.

I am not very sure what kind of moss but think it could be mini christmas moss.

Thanks sslow, one 12cm DC fan is used. But, I did not blow directly into the tank water. Please view the poor placement of the fan in the picture below. I also run the fan at slower speed to reduce noise. Thus, the temperature still remains a little high. I may get a bracket to mount the fan so that it could blow downward and reduce the temperature further. Lower temperature should be better for plants and fishes and shrimps.

Nice. Moss looks very healthy and lush.
