be able to tell me what plants A and B are, as I would like some for my very own!
Sam's right. HM on the left and riccia. not dwarf variety. the HM has proven to be a real nice stem plant, keeping a bush form without much effort. it takes to pruning real good too.
The riccia i use just because it gives an instant effect without much effort. although I don't give the riccia the attention it deserves, leaving it to it's own devices lends itself to a "natural" look.
HM can get invasive, creeping at least 3 inches towards the front until i chopped it....a mistake IMO
here's a random one of my ram...
and one of tertas...from ages ago
looking over this whole tank, i now sit in the same camp as George regards to a 2D foreground. the problem being i didn't allow enough space between wood and glass loosing the illusion of depth, also the wood gives a concave shape instead of the more 3D convex effect it should have, to make the tank appear deeper.
so George, I retract on my comments earlier
your right!...i just cant take criticism
