Nice lawn of tennellus!
Is it hard to maintain that sloping silhouette created by the long hairgrass and the cyperus (or is it sagittaria?)

Where did u get the long hairgrass? Trying to get some for myself too

Nice tank.

Add a red plant as a focus point will make it even more attractive.

Can get the long hairgrass @ Teo...As for the red plant, I have been looking around for red tiger lotus but cant find

Is your Aponogeton madagascariensis growing well?
What's your tank conditions?

Hey William

What is that green ball.....is that the lastest japanese crazed thingy?[] ......Oooh the take looks nice but the clown loach looks alittle out of place...hehehehehe

my opinions are, you can move the echinodorus inwards away from the back and towards the centre around 2/3 there to use it as a focal point.

if you want red plants as a focal point instead, it is not necessary to use tiger lotus because it will grow pretty large. you can alternatively use red stem plants as well. advantage is, youc an get them more easily, cheaper and you introduce a new leave shape to the aquarium which is dominated by strappy leaves. What i can suggest is a small bush of rotala wallichi, alternanthera reineckii or rotala indica in front of your cyperus helferi. keep them bushy and shorter than your cyperus. should look nice.

but anyhow, the tank looks great as of now too!

Actually I intend to remove the clown loach shortly because I know it will grow very big! Saw the mdeium size one @ the aquarium. As for rotala, it is relatively difficult to keep it low unless you have a chiller..

The clown loach will take a very long time for it to grow quite big.
