Hi all,
I have a 175L (70x50x50 cm) tank running since June, and I am planning to go to Vivarium next weekend and maybe purchase some new plants Hope you can advise on how to improve my plantscape.
The scape is inspired by one of the Tropica layouts. Now I have (see pic):
java ferns ("normal", narrow & windeløv)
anubias petite
staurogyne repens
mosses (I ordered two cups of spiky moss but got two different kinds delivered)
vallisneria tiger
cryptocoryne wendtii green (this was bought to my other tank where it turned brown, so I thought it was wendtii brown after all; but now it's turning green again in this tank)
cryptocoryne beckettii petchii
I just changed the spray bar to the back wall, which now lets the vallisneria hang over the tank. Probably nice for the fish but I find it too long. Would cryptocoryne crispatula be a good alternative, or would it be too much of the same or need more space?
Which red/brown crypto or another easy red plant would you consider in this tank and where to put it?
I am also thinking of maybe a darker green crypto to the back wall on the right side behind the windeløv, ±20 cm tall...any ideas?
Don't mind the yellow stuff on the right corner, that's my oto's enjoying their pepper
