The moss wasn't really growing (except for the java moss O.o ,and the star moss didn't die on me) so I transferred most of the mosses and plants in my 15gal and began to use co2 yesterday, well see how it grows! I'll post pictures soon!

Here's what my 15g aquarium looks like for the moment, the moss and some other plants that I had in my 10 gal were placed randomly to see if they would benefit from the co2 injection, I'll move them out after a while to let my hairgrass get all the light.

I left my anubias nana in my 10gal shrimp/neon aquarium, it grew quite a bit!

They look nice. You'll see them berried before too long. Unfortunately none of the eggs will hatch as they need brine water.

Have you given any thought to changing your background to plain black? The plants really pop when against a solid background.

Yeah I did some research on them and I already have a small aquarium setup for the eggs, I'll add marine salt when the time comes and see how it goes!

I tough about getting a black background a few minutes ago while looking through some pictures ^^ Thanks for suggesting it tho, I may not have had the idea!
