Looks sweet mate, that glosso definitely doesn't want to work for you for some reason does it lol, weird.

Think ill give it a little longer mate and see how it fairs. Just did a cut last night so hopefully get some more compact growth. In the meantime i got 2 of these lovley buggers 🙂

Corydoras Gold Laser

Couple of update pics, everything growing well not had any algae apart from GSA. Unfortunately the ebi gold has leaked into the gravel thanks to my corys, the substrate dividers have helped as much as they could!

That's looking good mike, maybe some moss stones could help keep the substrates seperate, corries can be destructive but such cool little fish

Looks great now mate. Especially the repens. And the marsilea looks lush. 🙂

Chers mate, i still think the glosso looks out of place. Its started to spread onto the gravel now but that wasnt the initial intention, not sure what to replace it with though. Cheers

Hey mike, it all looks really healthy, you seem to have nailed it with this scape.

How about replacing with echicularis mini or even taking the s repens further over?

Thanks Ian, still need to remove the frosted backing and replace with black.

I think ill order a pot of S Repens now and get that planted up.

Cheers

Hi all not been active for some time. Here are some recent pics of my tank.

 

[Ian Holdich]

Some cracking pics there Mike! The tank looks great mate, really mature.

Cheers Ian, Java needs thinning out a bit but im happy overall. Replaced the glosso with a full carpet of Staurgyne Repens in the end, looks alot better.

Cheers

 

[Ian Holdich]

Is there any fish in there?

 

[Westyggx]

5 x cory gold laser, 4 x otto 1 x albino cory. That's it.

Looks great mate. The stuaro carpet is really nice and the emmersed moss looks lush. Is the moss on the end of the root still there or did you take it off??

Cheers pal, no i took it off and placed it ontop for emersed growth. It was getting a bit out of control on the end of the root! Gonna check your journal now!
