Updated shots from 10g + close ups of fish

[tear-scar]

Thought I'd check in, get a few shots.

I'm reviving my 20g, and a lot of cuttings are going into it from the 10g so it might be a month before it grows back. Thought I'd show some shots before that happens.

First, Danio erythromicron (dwarf emerald danio/formerly microrasbora), hiding in the giant hair grass:

Next, I finally got a good in tank shot of my pair of cockatoo cichlids:

Fittingly, the only stem plant that likes me is Baby's tear (micranthemum micranthemoides) :

Last but probably the coolest, 1 last full tank shot before the moss and baby tears get a trim.

Hope you enjoyed the shots-- until next time remember, "Healthy plants mean healthy fish."

sylvia-- yeah, it's a fish that we are breeding, so hopefully it'll start to get a following.

Nice one,

What is your setup for those tanks, be interesting to swap some ideas, I use all Dennerle stuff.

Cool danio what type is he

What plant would you recommend that looks like a lawn finish, I've never had much luck with plants that are like grass or moss. Is my setup wrong ?

Since everyone's asking about my danios, it's "danio erythromicron"-- but I'd look for information under the name "microrasbora erythromicron"


Apisto--
As for my foreground, it's java moss. However, my 5gal has riccia as the foreground plant. Plant's like riccia or glosso just need lots of light and be not shadowed by others. For your tank though, I'd go with a mixed foreground of moss and echinodorus tellenus. E. tellenus is tall enough that it will still stand out even when framed by your dominant and bushy crypts. Since your photo gives me the impression of a tank with more conformity, a foreground of only echinodorus tellenus might work better.
