Here we go!!!

Foreground: crypt wendii on the left side, anubias nana petites and hydrocotyle sibthorpioides...
Also, dwarf hairgrass for carpet and brasil moss on DW and stones

You know the only thing that would make your tank alittle better is adding a plant or two that is red/pink/orange/yellow to give the tank a little pop of color.

Yes, and actually I have some coming next week, lets see what it is

What are you getting? I just pulled out alot of plants and rescaped with a ton of new species, most of which color up. I'm actually doing a thread showing the new growth and how it will change, fill in, and color up.

I'm in the RTP area! I some plants in my 75g but I don't know what kind they are lol. When I had my 55g (donated to the church) I had a guy to maintain it for me, so he actually came out & did the initial setup for me. I'm wanting some color in the tank besides just within the fish. I'm going by the fish room today to see what they have. I've been trying to upload pictures from my phone of my tank but it hasn't been successful. Need to use my actual camera & laptop later today!

Haha I have no skills...just putting stuff together...

I tried to put some color plants in the tank such as ludwigia red and red limnophila aromatica as suggested but really did not like it at all...took it out...introduce some new plants

Limnophila aromatica...love this plants

My small red tiger lotus didn't do well in the other tank so I put it in here to see how it goes I also put 2 crypt wendii bronze behind the crypt wendii already in the tank and 2 stems of ludwigia sp. pantanal in the middle back...hope they will do well

It is brasil moss, look more like peacock moss. It does not take long, only 2 months for my tank to full of plants.
I'm here to share my journal and need everybody to help me complete it
