There you go mate all from aqua essentials, far cheaper then the green machine and the plants are all A1 IMO


Hygrophila Guanensis
Echinodorus Ozelot Green
Polygonum sp. Sao Paulo
Bacopa Monnieri
Bolbitus Heudelotii
Acorus Gramineus Pusilles (Dwarf)

Thanks a bunch! I'm looking to plant my tank eventually, and I have turned my attention squarely towards what types of plants I want to go with. I am looking for low light, low maintenance, but still very attractive plants. I'm in the US, so I don't think I can get them from your sources, but I'm assuming there are sources in the US for any plants that I see on this forum. Thanks again!

Added 12 congo tetra and 12 rasbora. Looked at them in my LFS and they look....er ok i guess. The congo's seem like just silver fish but they all said there will turn when mature. I put the fish in my tank took me about an hour acclimatize them. went out and just got in and they have changed colour massivly! The 12 rasbora are darting around in under the wood and the congo's and turned a brillent shades of blue,green and red

I love the Congo Tetras.

I have 8 of them in my Fluval Roma 200 and they darken in colour with maturity. They are a beautiful under rated fish in my opinion.

Although they were very shy at first, they are the dominating fish in my tank now.

Hope your sick one perks up soon!

Looking good mate. I need to get some slate or a wood cave knocked up for my GBRs

Small upate installed a moon light from flea bay. To be honest im impressed for £15 Here some pics

 

[eaglesaquarium]

I am considering something like this... I don't like the fact that the lights are only on for 6 hours a day. Perhaps something like this would help me enjoy my tank even more.
