Both are 10g tanks and have been rearranged and have more plants/have grown bigger. I can't take pics right now, it's too dark and the tank lights too bright for my camera This was about an hour after I first planted them.
Current plants in my tank:
4 Corkscrew Vallisneria
1 Java Fern
2 Swords (I believe)
1 Mystery (mislabelled)
1 Water Wisteria
A pal of mine (coincidentally SHE is named Artemis ^^) and she has the plant on the left in her tank. Its overtaking her tank and I consider cutting down a few of the branches and replanting them into my tank. Do you think this will work? I am more concerned damaging her plant.
Picture One: My 16 gal when I first scaped it
Picture Two: My 5 gal when I first scaped it
Picture Three: A 1.5 litre nano tank (jar)
Picture Four: My extremely messy, overgrown 16 gallon a couple of days ago
Picture Five: The same 16 gallon about 18 months/two years ago when it was still neat and pretty.
It's a jar that I believe once held coffee, as I have a few in my cupboards that are identical. I got that particular one when I bought my rescue Apollo (RIP) of the classifieds a few years back. That had been his home for a while. It's been sitting empty taking up space ever since, so I planted it on Friday.
This particular one would be no good for housing fry, unfortunately, since I don't think it's even half a gallon.
yeah im thinking about getting a few 3 liter jars, put the fry in them when theyre hitting that nippy stage and i need to separate the males. atleast just temp until i get them a suitable tank.
:dunno: Just kidding; I think your tanks look great considering the dimensions that you're working with, especially that last pic of yours :thumbsup: When I had a 45g tank, I could not get it to look decent for the life of me. It became much easier when I upgraded to a 90g which has a really easy footprint to manipulate and plenty of space to pretty much do what I want without having to be creative. I honestly put very little thought into my aquascaping.
I *think* it's macranda, but my lighting wasn't high enough to maintain it and it eventually melted away. You can see the lower-right hand tips beginning to melt in that picture, actually. It's a shame, because it was beautiful.
Thanks, Funkman! I remain, howver, super jealous. As you can see, my tank didn't stay that well-scaped. I think I need a lower-maintenance scape.
I have a 48" dual-bulb T5HO Current USA Nova Extreme fixture in the front and the same fixture but 36" in the back (total of 186W). The carpeting plant is Marsilea hirsuta.
