New FTS:

I added Blyxa japonica in front of the R. wallichi (right side). The wallichi doesn't look great now. I trimmed it about a week ago and it hasn't grown back nice and pink yet.

I have to give it time.

And a couple pics from the tank:

Apistogramma macmasteri male

Apistogramma trifasciata female

Ember tetras

Rotala sp. colorata pearling a bit

The tank is getting full, fish-wise now.

Stocking as of today:
10 Ember tetras
6 Rummynose tetras
11 Corydoras hastatus
3 Apistogramma macmasteri
2 Apistogramma trifasciata
3 long fin albino Bristlenose plecs (growing out....~1" right now)

Thanks for looking!

Okay this just isn't fair. It makes me want to reach through my monitor and start playing. Lovely growth, healthy plants, great overall scape.

As I mentioned in another thread... this would have to be one of my favourite tanks ev-e-ra!

I finally ripped out the HC and HM and replanted! It looks tons better and the fish are much happier. Some of the stems also got trimmed this week, so its not as overgrown now.

Here are some pics:

Before:

And after

And some fish pics:

Apisto macmasteri males

Excuse the algae spots, I did not clean the glass.
