Betta/Celestial Pearl Danio 10g

Thanks Darksome & Joycould! It will look a lot better when I get the extra plants out of there.

I found it at Fry's Electronics. They have an online store. If you google ECO bulb U shape screw in you can find lots of places. I've only found them in 2700K but the plants still grow fine.

Amazing array of plants. I especially love the Limnophilia sp 'Guinea' and the Rotala Macrandra in the green. Where did you happen to find the Limnophilia?

Thanks for your comments. A member of our local plant club (DFWAPC) brought it to one of the meetings. Perhaps he may sell some sometime. It's really a beautiful plant. When I got the small pieces from him I thought they looked interesting but out of water didn't rock my world. When I got them in water and they began to grow I was really please at it's beauty.

The tank is looking good and your aquascaping talent is getting even better! Are you sure you want to take out the 'Nanjenshan' ? It looks so good there.

Getting there!!!! Already looks great, Drinda!

You went with the E. Triandra, huh? Have fun netting out the trimmings! HA! I agree with Dave about the Rotala, but you are the master of your tank.

What a pretty tank!

And its so nice to see the little danios all out in the open now that its all "theirs"!

You have a really lovely array of plants - and I agree on the rotala... I think it looks nice there.

really nice aquarium

what the red thing at the middle right ? a rock ? (right in front of the bacopa)

Red thing is a rock. I've had trouble with the Trident Java fern. It has been a magnet for BBA. So weird as no other bba but there. Finally took it out and dipped the entire thing. We'll see what happens now.

Drinda,

I know you're using EI for your tank, but what exactly is your supplimentation regimen,lighting amount, and photoperiod? I've got a 10g with algae issues from hell and I'd like a baseline regimen to compare mine against.

Thanks,
Phil

I have the U tube florescent bulbs that are on for 8 hours per day. I do 1/8 tsp KNO3, 1/32 tsp phospates on M,W,F and 1/32 tsp CSM+B on T,Th,S and Flourish iron 1 ml once or twice a week. 50% w/c on Sunday. The U tube bulbs have less restrike. These bulbs are 10000K unfortunately. I can't find this wattage in a different Kelvin. It does get indirect sunlight as it's in a western facing room with 4 windows.

Drinda,

Thanks! That sounds almost exactly like my regimen except for light.

It's beautiful! A very far cry from your shrimp tank right now.

Very nice; those Celestial Pearl Danios are spectacular. Any updated pics to post?

Things are so overgrown! Too much to do with too many holiday visitors. Hope to do a big trim and clean it up by the end of the week.
