thanks mate, you're welcome over anytime, i'll stick the kettle on.

Looks really good mate.

Lots of lush green growth there

thanks mate, i'm happy with the way this tank has gone. The only thing i would have changed would have been the glosso. It's been a real pain to keep on top of. I wish i'd used Marsilea hirsuta.
 
Re: Aquagreen (Vaillanti, we think)

Went out for dinner yesterday at Brigg Garden center, i came across these little beauts...they were labelled as Sphaerichthys osphromenoides, having kept the crossbanded ones before, when i got them home i thought they may be them. However after a convo with Alistair, it appears they are Sphaerichthys vaillanti...it looks as they are a all male group, as the females look to be totally different to these...i still look at these and think the look like normal chocs.
I have also purchased some Sylvinia natans for the corners of the tank.

Re: Aquagreen (Vaillanti)

Wow, they have kind of a bluey tinge to them too. Stunning Ian. Do you still have the MK's in there too ?
 
Re: Aquagreen (Vaillanti)

yeah a really funny looking colour as they will look brown one min, then sparkle the next, cheers Chris. MK's??
 
Re: Aquagreen (Vaillanti)

yeah they are very nice mate, bet breeding colours will be a sight to behold

i doubt they'll get that far, but will see, they are really hard to breed apparently. Once of the reasons why they cost a lot. Though i got them cheaper than they normally retail.
 
Re: Aquagreen (Vaillanti)

they are in my kitchen tank now, they are doing OK as well. A couple jumped, but have had none jump from the small tank.
 
Re: Aquagreen (new vid p18)

yes, mate, very lucky apparently. The females are colouring up nicely at the moment.

Stunning stuff Ian. I love your choice of music too 🙂 Remind me (sorry I know I asked before but have a memory like a sieve) Which tank is that ? Is it the Rio125 ? You have turned it into a stunning open top tank if so :thumbup:

Ahh yes you did tell me that, and now I remember hehe. You do have a 125 though right ?
 
Re: Aquagreen (new vid p18)

Stunning video Ian.
Looks like a proper Nature Aquarium :thumbup:
You tempted to trim the glosso? Or are you scared 😀 or do you feel it's suited as is? I like it, but just curious as most seem overly keen to try for a really tight close carpet.
Are they platinum tetras in there too?
Cheerio
