yea! thats what i was thinking, not green.. more brown orange...
the significance?? still confused about that...
i'm unclear, but i think you suggested that the live plants will help regulate production of ammonia and nitrate in the tank, right???
i'm waiting to get more plants because i don't have the right substrate, and i'm looking to purchase black sand that will buffer the pH to be lower than the 8.2 it's at now....
i have in my tank fish-wise:
3 clown loaches
5 Galaxy Rasboras
1 Balloon Molly
1 Noname
+ 2 African dwarf Frogs
Plants:
5 shoots of jungle valves <dying cause the clown loach eat it>
1 group of anubias growing out of wood
1 group of aubias growing from (incorrect) substrate
really, the plants in there are arbitrary, because i would ultimately like to grow Swords, some fissidens sp. , red lotus, Microsorum pteropus...
i want to recreate this look:
