EDIT: ITS A VERY DIFFERENT TANK NOW SO SKIP TO THE LATER PAGES
I wish I'd have started a journal from before I put everything in the tank but from now will have to do I guess!
My plan is to get some more plants (Java moss on way) and increase the denseness of the foliage in parts. Covering the gravel in a carpet is also an aim.
Still unsure as to whether or not I should go fully natrual or keep the boat/temple in their. I dont mind them but the missus likes them. (boat isn't in 2nd pic).
If anyone can tell me the name of the plants please do, I just got them from my LFS. Using my iphone as a camera so bare with me on the quality front!
There's standard large gravel mixed with plant substrate (cant remember make) and I also use API Laef Zone as a fertiliser. No CO2 for now (see how it goes).
-----------------------------------------
Have to say I'm astonished at how quickly these things grow!
2 weeks from planting my plants have gone from this:
to this:
Can't believe its only 2 weeks growth! Hopefully the rest, when I get them, will grow as fast!
Found 2 snails at the end of last week, no idea where from but I got them out and will have to see if theres anymore. 10 Neon Tetras are all thats living in their for now with a plan for some more 'small shoaly' type fish and some Shrimp.
