Re: mid september update!
i re did the tank again. unfortunately the hairgrass arrived in crappy shape and i was able to save only about half of it and was not enough to cover the area i have...
i also failed again with the stem plants:twitch: i kept a few but most others got leggy and seem too demanding, not my style so here it is:
new plants:
*Crypt wendtii "florida sunset"
*Crypt Keii "Jambusan"
*Crypt Crispatula Var. Balansae "Green"
*Crypt Crispatula Var. Flassidifolia
*Dwarf Hair Grass, probably E. Parvulus
also have some New Fish:
*Wild caught in Peru by a friend Giant Ottos.
you can also see the apistogramma viejita are doing quite well! =)

thanks man! you recognize the stauro. portho velo up front? =)
i like crypts because they are easier and undemanding for the most part.
as far as the ottos go, i don't know how they will do in the long run..i only had them for a few weeks if so..
