Echinodorus tenellus Pygmy Chain Sword

nice plant!

[StanChung]

Doesn't look like E. tennelus though. Looks more like E. quadricostatus

[Blades]

Yeah, I think the plants are huge which makes the tank look very small. Try swapping it out for more petite type of plants.

hi, what substrate are you using? how come half red half black?
the frogbits roots are rather long. and your water level a bit low?

[chuac85]

last improvement made

[fireblade]

somehow feel that the wood steal away the nice rock scape..

[Xianghao]

bro why not lay the wood as foreground instead? Like that the fissiden on wood can be the foreground plant.. quite nice..

[chuac85]

hmm alright will try that and update you guys soon thx for e comments

[magpie]

Hi Chuac85, is it fissiden that is tied to the wood as shown on the right of the tank in the picture?

[chuac85]

yes fissiden
