    Hey guys and girls,
    here is a video of my latest setup, removed the Hemiantus Calitrichoides and replaced it with fine light gravel. The shrimp love it ;)

    Hey guys,

    just pruned the jungle a little today and trimmed the huge java fern leaves and its seedlings that were sprouting all over the place. My CPDs are getting less shy lately, I can now stop in front of the aquarium and they would come out of the back of the tank and play around. Great stuff seeing them play along with the Erytromicrons. But the Scarlet Badis is the king of finicky eaters, doesn’t eat anything that I put in the tank (and it’s a huge menu, frozen baby artemia, blood worms, cyclops, Hikari micropellets and such), only interested in what he can catch himself. Well, judging by his colors and behaviour, he’s getting by pretty well :) And my CPDs are eating more regularly too.

    Hey guys,

    As promised, here are some fresh new photos of my aquascape and it’s inhabitants. Weird jumble of java ferns and Crypts on the left. Gotta fix that. The rotala indica on the right side was pruned aggressively, so I can have it the size and shape I want in a week or so. My Valisneria melted two days after I planted it, but it’s recovering very fast behind the rock in the center. At left, by the vals, there is a growing rotala magenta, whose leaves literally exploded in size when I added bottled CO2.
    Let me know what you think.

    Hey Ted,

    Yeah, my glosso is all over the place now, growing on top of itself. I did a little pruning a while ago, but with CO2 and all that light, hard to keep it in check. The plant is a rotala indica or rotundifolia. It loves light, CO2 and nutrients, and it shows its appreciation by displaying great reddish leaves.
