Beautiful!! How long has it been set-up?

[supaoopa]

about 3 months.

this is what it looked like the first month.

[electrikat]

Did all that grow in 3 months or was it that heavily planted from the first? Very lush looking.

Sorry it took a few for me to get the picture.

looks like marisela. Very nice!! Show that to anyone who says small tanks aren't worth keeping!

[TankGirl]

Very, very nice! It is an impressive display for a relatively small tank, and it appears to be very carefully groomed. Great job!
