Ian, stop it with the HC. Seriously haha, amazing growth on it. Mine is uhmm, growing? Since adding Flourish Excel while i (still) track down somewhere to refill my FE my HC has taken off a little. Nothing like yours, but the growth is lushious green like yours. Just not quite at the rate yours is growing!

Whats the grassy plant behind your HC? Not Crypt Costata is it?

 

[ian]

the grass is Dwarf Hairgrass (Elocharis acicularis). It does carpet well under the right conditions.

 

[Ps3Steveo]

Oh yeah just looked through some other pics and its much finer than it looks but some of the clumps in your tank look like they have a little wider blades so thats why I asked.

 

[ian]

do you mean the Pogostemon helferi? I have some of those planted in the grasses.

 

[Ps3Steveo]

No lol, on the pics on page 6 some of the grass to the left looks thicker bladed.

Ooh that made for a nice break in my FAE reading! your crypts look very happy, and well done on the gourami close-up, none of my fish stay still long enough for photographs!

thanks Cazzie. The tank is about ready for it's first proper trim. I shall be doing that in the next couple of weeks.

Looking good. I miss having gouramis. How is the Pogostemon doing? You mentioned it getting leggy, but in the last pictures, it's looking really good to me.
