Nice tank. I am going to have to get some of that Pogostemon helferi.

[drobertson]

gee, wish I had your problem. the moss looks great and I love the color of your betta

[An t-iasg]

Wow...two very good-looking tanks! Love the betta!

What's the red plant in the 10 gallon? Ludwigia brevipes? (in the back, not the red crypts)

[mr funktastic]

i am not 100% sure actually. waterpond gave it to me. it looks cool but doesnt seem to grow very fast. i will have to ask him about it... thanks for the comments. i need to trim the moss a little lol.

That tank looks great, the green downoi plant with the crinkly leaves is way cool, havn't seen that one around here. When you grow some more of it any chance I can mouch some from you, love to try it!

Nice looking tank, Mr. Funk.

[GlitcH]

Everyones spare tank should look that good Funk.

I wonder how that established moss wall would hold up in the 55 with the cichlids.

I'm lookin for some downoi too......anyone know a good source?

[mr funktastic]

well my good source is another member on this site but he is a difficult guy to get ahold of. travis simonson.. i am sure some of u have heard of him lol. he sent me one little tiny peice and it bounced back to that nice on in the middle back aswell as sent out a runner which is infront of it. it took about a month to send out that runner though. it is extreamly slow growing but looks awesome. he is using it for his foreground right now i beleave. i will send ua peice as soon as it propogates again glen. the front one is almost ready to slit into 2. sorry it couldnt be more but one should get u started. ah and glitch... cichlids absolutly love moss. not to look at but to tear into tiny little shreds lol. i have tried moss in there before. i tried to cover that pot in the centre but they dissagreed with my scaping ideas. i only did the moss wall becase i was running out of ground area to cover lol. soon i will have to make another one for the otherside lol. its gard to tell but the left side is actually a giant cave that i covered in a moss. now it just looks like a grassy hill lol. thanks for the compliments guys. i would appreciate any suggestions u guys have aswell. oh and there is a rock on the rightside aswell under all that moss.

Thanks Mr. funk, I've got some Ammanis Senegalinsis you can check out if you have room for it! I need a new foreground plant in my 20, just removed the brazilian micro sword, gets to tall and thin, didn't really like the look. Plants in the 20 are getting old and looking a bit worn. Thinking of re-doing the whole tank, or doing a heavy duty trimming. Got to wait to see if I am moving first.
