hey everyone!!!

i have a new layout. this time i wanted do try lots and lots of riccia covering a complex wood structure.

this is the result

still hasn't reached 1 month old but it's going really well. the ADA substrate does wonders!!!

take care
Pedro

does putting riccia on driftwood mean you have to take it out every couple weeks to replant them?

no plant lives forever so eventualy the lower portions of riccia will die and it might get loose. don't know when it'll happen i guess it depends on how much light reaches there

here is a photo without pearling

hey!!
Volkracing99 the fish are Paracheirodon Simulans they're like innesi neons but without the red stripe.
cotranchau i'm allways ajusting the riccia's shape and so far i only had to do one large trim to prevent it from rottening
here's an update:

the fish where all hiding in the back
