Mr. Ghori, you are a true aquatic gardener. Lucky for you I'm not closer to the DC area, or I would probably impose on your good graces with 20 questions about your methods.

I could hope for half the success you have there. So many species in one tank, and all so healthy. Congratulations!

I really like the look of your tank! Absolutely gorgeous!

Wow! I am not sure exactly what scaped is... or why it is aparent to some that you need it... but, I am suddenly very *green* with envy! I thought my 10 gal tank with 4 different types of plant life was great... wow! I am blown away!

I will state up front that I am a novice... I have a question... maybe someone can help me... When you have soooo many plants rooted into your tank... how do you "clean" the gravel? or do you need to? do you syphon? or just do water changes? does the fish waste become fertilzer? Perhaps someone could recommend a good book or website that would enlighten me with answers... I looove my live plants, and frankly think that plastic plants are pointless... I would looove to continue to collect more... any advice?

Theres no real need to vacuum the gravel. I just go over
mulm pockets with my python to pick up any obvious detrius.
Don't disturb the substrate at all.

Ghazanfar,

I love the look of the tank even though it was not aquascaped. What can you tell me about the Hottonia plaustis. I really like the looks of that plant.

Ghazanfar Ghori

Hottonia plaustris is a great looking plant. Shouldnt be a problem
for you to grow. Shaded out stems do tend to melt. Nice growth
rate - not too fast or slow. Good aquascaping potential for the midground.
