Very nice man.
Got a question: On the right side there seem to be 2 green stem plants, one with bigger leaves than the other but both similar shape. I assume 1 is rotala sp. green, and what's the other one??? thanks!
BTW-- nice choice with the emperor tetras |

I believe this is what I call a Hong Kong scape. The Japanese and the Dutch have their own styles but Hong Kong style is very distinct. I don't know why but it is, maybe the bushy plants? Last year when I visited HK, I was blown away at the street in Mong Kok. I wish I could live there. | |

I meant the larger green stem plant on the right side in THIS photo. I don't think that's blyxa. | |

As always Alan, beautiful work... as far as your claim at being a beginner goes though... you sure could've fooled me! Bravo! | |
