Personally, I would try Didiplis diandra. However, looking at it now, even a small piece of wood with Bolbitis heudelotii could look quite cool.
Tank looks ace by the way. 😀

nice scape
how long have you had this set up?
what camera do you use to take your pictures and do you have any extras on it for close up shots?

Re: My First Planted Tank - Juwel Rio 125
I use my old Konica-Minolta 5D with the kit lens for general shots and a Tamron 90mm f2.8 Macro lens for close ups. None of the photos in this journal were taken using any close up filters, I do own the close up filters but only used the macro lens on its own for the shots here.
Thanks for the sugestions Fred, going to MA tomorrow to pick up my Cardinal Sulawesi shrimp for my shrimp only tank and will see whats available there, and thanks for the positive comments.Fred Dulley said:
Many thanks Ark, I have this tank for a few years, but only over the last 18 months I have dedicated it to plants, I only installed the pressurized system 4 months ago. Since then made a couple of major changes as you can see in my blog.Ark said:

I have done my research too and someone is breeding them with PH 6.4 and also someone else is breeding them together with CRS, so looks like its not really a necessity!Garuf said:

Its one of those shots that happens out of the blue cause you have the camera at hand 😉aaronnorth said:
The Apistos don't bully anyone, but the betta does keeps chasing the rainbows about. Too fast for it though!Ark said:

Re: My First Planted Tank - Juwel Rio 125
Congrats, Paulo! I've been reading your blog for a couple of months now. Your tank was in fact one of maybe a handful to inspire me in setting up my own planted nano tank and a Juwel Vision 260.
I was wondering about your "glosso-trimming-vow" 🙂 - of not letting it too thick and rot at the end. You also mentioned trimming it on Aug. 15. How did you do that? Do you cut the runners and uproot some plants or you trimmed the ones that just grew too high?
My second question refers to your 60L shrimp-tank (please don't blame me for not posting it there). You said CO2 and PH below 7 is not good for shrimps. I can understand the PH requirement, but do you think my red cherries will suffer if I can keep the PH at 7.2 and keep adding pressurized CO2 - now at about 20mg/l ? Other water parameters: KH 9-10, GH 16, Nitrate 10 mg/l, Nitrite 0, Ammonia 0, Temp.: 26-28° C. I also add Easy Carbo and TPN+.
