Hi,

Even if I use some crypto parva and been it small, into this aquarium it'll be bigger. Please note that this aquarium is small and the tree needs to be in proportion with other plants.

Anyway, good luck with it-- this does not seem like an easy layout to get the different plants balanced and timed for photoshoots. Of course it's beautiful though

Are you still planning to enter it as your ADA submission like you told me before?
Steven, it's a hard job trimming this tree, every time that use the scissor I've the feeling that if I don't be careful with it I'll damage and the moss freed itself from the wood. The wood is so thin and with the time pass the moss is getting poor down near of the wood.

Regarding ADA, I still don't know... perhaps I'll send that picture that you mention above. It's wild and my favorite, but the foreground plants didn't spread for me! Now they're growing and I hope that the moss can fill again the tree!

I don't know... When I dismounted the old Syrah, I've counted more than 80 shrimps

Me too! Perhaps I'll send this picture to ADA... What do think? Should I send it?
I've a feeling that it'll be a waste of time....

Can't hurt to send it in. Not like it costs anything. I think you'll do very well actually. It looks very complete as it is. Some of the substrate showing through looks very natural for this scape. Excellent job!

I absolutley think this tank is capable to join the ADA! If I've got you right you think your tank don't have a chance to get on a nice place in the competition? I really think this is a nice tank and it sureley has good chances too get high point's there too!

I agree-- you definitely have to enter something! I'm sure it will do better than you expect, whatever you choose.

I think you should enter this pic but with a different background. Can you photoshop the background? Maybe alittle darker. Looks good though
