My October Setup

[squall99e]

The moss are left on the gravel to harvest so that I can tie to the woods at a later stage. Should I add any red plants to add some constrast?
Comments are welcome.

file not accessible, did you make it public?

[squall99e]

Ok now.

I like it pretty much as it is, lovely driftwood arrangement ..... are those large Anubias at the left back?? the discus looks out of place though.... I think more pearl gouramis will be very nice....

It's really a practiced cliche that red plants are needed in a tank..... i think it's not really necessary... but of course you are free to experiment...

Cheers!!

Generally, I like what you have done with the wood. I guess the wood on it's own looks really good and by using plants on the wood made even better. Good job.

Point to note, the wood may pose a danger to your discus due to it's pointy branches. Discus are known to dash for safety when startled.

Yes those at the left back are Anubias __?
I got them from Teo.
I brought all the driftwood (3) from Nature Chan for $30 only. I knew some place selling 1 for $20. However the driftwood or mangrove roots are staining the water as unable to boil them. Will the light be affected?

Nice setup.... where do you guys manage to find such nice driftwoods? Are they expensive?

Anyway, you tank looks like this setup from another post:

Get it from Chan at Nature Aquarium, he quote i piece at $15 at first. In the end, sell to me 3 piece for $30.
I don't think they are expensive as they really stand out on their own.

I like the tank as it is! Nice set-up

I like the wild look, the wood is the main highlight and already created the necessary contrast in a mild but natural way. Any red plants would change what you have intended.
