No mermaid weed?

Looks gorgeous - can't wait to see that foreground fill in.

JAXON777 · 11-26-2008, 01:06 PM

it got the green algae infection so it went bye bye. I am hoping th downoi will do better now.

I see you thinned out your cardinal plant. I like the rescape, very clean looking.

Whats that in the dead center you are tyring to grow?? Is that chain sword?? That stuff spreads likes crazy, you wouldn't want it choking out your downoi

No its some kinda crypt I am hoping "Parva" a small foreground crypt. Its a rhizome plant.

i think it is parva. did you get it from mike?

i cant wait to see your tank when the background fills in. I know the foreground will look awesome when its filled in but that could be like 6 months from now with the downoi and cardinal plants.

what is the plant in the back left side (next to the bacopa)?...the fine leaved one.

rotala vietnam (i think) it was left at the meeting so.... When I got it it had a red stem and yellowish fine leaves

Looks good. I have some more mermaid weed, lobelia, bacopa and a couple of those small crypts if you can use them.

I like the downoi and lobelia carpets in the front. Much lower maintenance than glosso. I am trying to do the same in my 38G. My lobelia has already filled in the left side and has started filling in on the right. My downoi has a ways to go. They are both slow but steady growers as you know.

I am looking forward to see how this tank develops.

Crypt parva is tiny. Here is a px of mine. The substrate is Amazonia. The leaves are 1/2" It's a little plant. I got this from Bigstick120
