Love the wood in the second one down - where did you get it???

Also what's the Apisto? And a nice collection of different cories too.
 
Thanks for the kind comments.

The wood was from my LFS, The Mill in Chesterfield, I have added some Redmoor Wood after these pics were taken, which looks great.

The Apsito's are Trifasciata and Baenschi. More pic's of them below, they are still maturing and still a bit shy.

Corys I love. I have;
C. Weitzmani
C. Caudimaculatus
C. Agasazzii
C. Sterbai
C. Leucomelas
C. Paleatus

Few more pic for you.

Regards
JOHNNY

Plant Grow on Tank
Tons of cuttings and new plants ready to plant up tanks, still looking for more and more. ordered some nice ones from a German seller on ebay, hope they are nice.

Think thats it.

No idea what half the plants are in the tanks, I tend to plant what I like not just whats right in whatever tank. I like to try and get them sort of natural looking(if there is such a thing)

Started daily dry ferts dosing thanks to the chaps that helped with me on that. Still dosing liquid carbon daily in the constant algae battle :oops:

JOHNNY
 
any suggestions on how I can improve would be gratefully received :lol:

JOHNNY
 
Great photos, i love the Appisto tank.

For the 180 alls that i would change is push most of the plants further towards the back and add some smaller plants at the front to create a gentle slope upwards.

Great job. ;)

Can anyone ID the plant at the back of the 40ltr Planted Nano Fighter Tank , the long green leaf one, it grows very quicky takes over in no time.

Cheers
JOHNNY
 
It looks like a Hygrophila. As to the type, it could be lacustris, but that isn't very common over here, or a narrow leaf form of another species.
 
Looks very similar to that, I would have thought it was something I bought from Tropica, do they do it? had it in my tanks for ages.

JOHNNY
 
Spot on!

Thats exactly it, thanks very much for the ID :D

JOHNNY

:wideyed: Makes complete sense to me :? but I am a bit odd. I know its not the typical type of tank on here, somedays I wish I could do them like the great guys and gals here, but I can't so i do madddddddd:)

JOHNNY
 
You have some brilliant tanks, I especially like the 90 litre.

You also have a very nice cory collection, can I ask how much the C. weitzmani cost?
