picture overload - planted 40G

[jimbooo]

Hi everyone,

i've been snapping away again, made a few changes to the riccia and generally grown out a bit.

who said java fern was a slow grower??

notice on the far right of this pic java moss on slate attached with a hairnet (as in the pinned riccia article)

a lonely cardinal tetra

lawnmower / plant fertaliser!!

his comfy spot

you've all seen it before but hey who cares it's slightly different.
hope you enjoyed that, any feedback welcome.

Why can't I get my planted tank to look that great.

Excelent job jimboo, how about sending me some of that mossy type plant?
Go on, you know you want to

hi elisabeth, thanks i try my best.

i see you have an empty 30G in your profile. add a few lights, decent substrate, co2 and away you go. no reason at all why you cant have a simmilar set up. it's all a matter of time and persistance.

angel lady: i am proud of it but thats about it in my house. apparently i spend too much time looking after the plants. oh well

it's all about equipment really, get that right and the plants take care of themselves, well almost

 

[Bloo]

Just awesome

you make it sound so easy but I will have a tank like that one day - watch this space.....

Is that a Sterbai cory I spotted there ? How many do you have ?
I'm thinking of getting some - they look so lovely.

Man I love your riccia!!

I ordered some awhile back but it all died on the trip.
I put it in my tank anyways 'cause I heard it'll do that sometimes when shipped, but that it will come back eventually.
Mine didnt.
A local dealer here is "tryin" to get some for me.

Looks great dude!

Looks fantastic Jimboo.

I hope my riccia (recently attatched to slate) looks as good as yours. If the fish ever stop picking at it

that looks amazing jimboo...this is probably by far my favorite phase of your tank...i love the 2nd pic with the "flying cory" - they must love scavenging through the riccia....and the pic with the pleco laying on his riccia mattress is funny too...congrats on a job well done!

 

[houndour]

I'm lost for words. Your tanks look fantastic. I almost hate you for it Your riccia looks incredible and your tiger lily is to die for. I'm gonna have to point ND to that...dunno if he ever really comes out of the plant forum.

speechless.
