Your left side moss very nice growth.
BTW, your cherry/sakura like to upside down too? their very weird sometimes and just idle upside down do nothing.

haha. i just dumped in plants and watch it grew (took me a looooong time). The cherry needs a companion. The only survivor outta 5 that i bought. the rest just perished like that in the first month. its living peacefully with the ember and pristella tetras i have.

Time to go C328
Actually some scapes left and right are quite packed and leaving the center with a "Path"

I dunno though, i feel like tearing some of the plants away . There's taiwan moss growing behind the water wisteria, but it grew too long and blocked the moss outta sight

Edit: BTW the tank's temperature is between 29-30. Got lazy to switch on the fan (too much spent on topping water

Nano, 2 day water topup until overflow schedule


I hardly trim this nano so most of the HG is like too long haha.

hmm no filter and no light?
au natural ?
where does the sunlight go if all 3 side covers and floating plants covering top?
do you always fill up the water to the brim?

Outside put light electric filter? Wait for my mom chase the rent payer out lol. Anyway if all need filter, big ponds alot of dead fish haha.

Ada2 alot of ammonia, the tank went through a long fishless cycle.

The tank got some from the top, and reflected light. We see colors the very same way. I will clear some of the floaters when I notice background plants arc forward.

Ya, always topup unless I trim, will use WC to take out the "hair" that is floating.

You had a yappy? Their quite hardy actually. Let the tank grow 1st. Being too hasty also not too good.

[diazman]

the plant in the first pic doesn't look like a aquatic type. I think its a terrestrial plant?

NEA will only book if certain conditions are breached. I actually checked town council about space usage limitations. Just nice stayed within and don't make my tanks a nuisance to my muslin grandma next door.
Btw, all tanks are having at least 2 fish. Plus the kids living around shower the tank with attention lol
