Re: 90x45x45cm - Unknown Valley

Xmas moss is a little more droopy I think. It's got the shape of spiky, but fronds are a bit small. They're usually a brighter green. I'd say they're Java moss.

xmas moss!

Tank is looking sweet, the overgrown looks very natural.
 
This tank is now stripped down after the weekend. Took ages to take all the ferns off the lava as they'd embedded themselves in the rocks plus catching shrimp is a pain. Will try the bottle trap method next time.

Its currently empty with 30kg of dragon stone and manzi wood waiting to go in it 🙂 formulated a planting plan and design for it with gaz from green machine last week (thanks gaz) so ive got a good idea what im doing with it.

Also picked up a bag of bonsai pummice from my local bonsai supplier yesterday which will be used for banking in the back in nets. Just need some more nile sand but TGM are closed today 🙁
 
a really enjoyable tank. Your fish are boraras sp Thailand?
