    Amazon Swords

    Your plant is called echinodorus 'ozelot', same sword family though http://www.thegreenmachineonline.com/products/aquatics/plants/tropica-potted-plants/echinodorus-ozelot as you can see in their drawing new leaves come up some what reddish and when they get bigger new leaves will come up more...

    How Do You Add Plants?

    What wattage is the bulb? If its 2* 15W bulbs that is enough light for plant growth. How long did you keep the lights on for? CO2 is carbon dioxide which plants take in. Not much point thinking about that at the moment though! "liquid in a bottle".. Do you know what this is? Would be...

    Minnnt's South American Puffer Tank

    Looking good. More pics of the new puffers I hope :hyper: I agree with Ians comment, will add a bit more balance. I like the vallis tho, helferi can be a bit of a pain to grow... Needs co2 from my experience. :good:

    So I Know I Said I Was Getting Bolivian Rams...

    I can see her now! Looks great. The species do vary a lot but i'm sure you'll manage great! I'm always busy with something...! Finished uni and now just busy with working and things. New post on my blog in the planted tanks section though ;) Havn't had any new fish for a while though...

    Minnnt's Dwarf Puffer Tank

    edit: oops, thought you said java moss not fern. A little more maybe but not too much imo. I love crispus. Would it get too big though?

    My Plants Have Stunted

    I meant the fish are good for the plants, meaning that when they're 'messy business' breaks down it will convert to nitrate and phosphate, the main nutrients plants needs. Sometimes plants need micro nutrients, which are iron, potassium etc... My tank is on for 6 hours a day, thats with co2...

    Minnnt's Dwarf Puffer Tank

    Just between the top and lower branches on the right side of the hardscape, I feel although its missing some branches. Probably just me ;) and ah, cheers :good:

    Si's Low Tech Tank Journal

    Cheers :good: I like the idea of stars :lol: Maybe the ludwigia shoots can be moved across slightly as more develop. We'll see!

    Minnnt's Dwarf Puffer Tank

    I like it! Is it freshwater or brackish? I've been tempted to do one of these but fancied trying an unusual fish like puffers. The only thing I might want to do is expand the hardscape towards the centre just a little? You can barely notice the heater imo!

    Si's Low Tech Tank Journal

    Better picture. Added co2 to help the carpet grow... Algae here I come :look: Any ideas on the scape... very welcome of thoughts/ideas! Its missing something in the middle at the back I think. Hopefully the longer grass will soon get going and I can put some there but there isn't much space...

    My Plants Have Stunted

    Hmmmm... This is a bit odd. I hate to always jump to saying you need ferts but in the pic I can't see the tips of them dying which I would imagine is a plant deficiency. I get the impression it was a newish tank? Maybe as it matured the swords demanded more nutrients? It might be a sign of an...

    Plants On Drift Wood

    Java moss as well of course.. Good starter plant as you can practically just grow it in a jar of water! I agree with all the other plants too :good:

    What Plants Possible With Low Tech

    Try and avoid red plants... Good starter plants are various Cryptocorynes, java ferns, java mosses and anubias. Some stem plants are good but may require ferts as they grow quickly. Never used that website but I imagine the plants will be OK. Probably not quite as nice as the pictures! But...
