That's correct An t-iasg, those are the flowers at the base of the leaves. They're only about 1mm in person. I think I've even spotted one that may be going to seed, but it's along the side of the tank by the wall so I can't get a pic.

Very pretty. Great photo.

Very nice, congratulations

Way cool! Nice looking and color is stunning.

Took the time to rescape the tank earlier today and had to take more pics this evening of course.

I removed 95% of the Rotala Rotundifolia varieties. Moved the driftwood with the Dwarf and Needle Leaf Java Ferns to the back left so that I have a foreground again. Plus I moved the driftwood with the Christmas Moss to the far front right. This has really opened up the front of the tank, and I need to decide what I want to do with it. Under consideration are Hemianthus Callitrichoides, Marsilea Minuta, Hemianthus Micranthemoides, Elatine Triandra, or Cryptocoryne Parva. I've got everything onhand except the Elatine Triandra which I lost to overtrimming during the green water.

Unfortunately the full tank shot is a bit over exposed, but at least you get a reasonably good idea of how it looks now.

This tank is a great example on how to get the illusion of great depth, front to back. Hard to achieve in a ten gallon.
Very nice work

Gah! Those D. diandra blooms are stunning! In fact they may be the prettiest flowers I've seen. Absolutely great

travis simonson · 02-12-2007, 09:10 PM

BTW, I vote for HC or E. triandra for the foreground

Hello Joy.

This is my first post on AA and it's all to tell you that I think your tank looks great and that those D.diandra flowers are the coolest! Hope to see you at the club meeting.
