Hey, thread still exists! Yayy.. no breeding. Lots of new plants though! New erio that looks like mini blyxa, myrio moved to back, 2 new ar variants, limno Arromatica added to back. I cannot wait for this to fill in..pics and proper names when I get home!

You need to post regularly otherwise they will sink into the depths...
Once I clear out some stars I might move the erio to run along side the Blyxa. I have a pattern in mind for the foreground plants.
How do you propogate Blyxa? Do the stems branch out? I do not see runners.

true.. the blyxa grows shoots, i can see a bunch forming, i think you just snap them or clip them off.. how's your erio doing?

The side shoots on blyxa j. will easily pull away from the main stem w/roots intact..

Nice. That's quite a wall of Blyxa. I was not sure how the erio should look and how deep to plant the stems so I'm using yours as a reference. Mine are not as green (only in the centers). The periphery is straw colored; I think that is the older growth. The Blyxa I got from Brian had older growth that was replaced as it grew.
Is that the new limno in the back right corner?

Yes sir, I will be removing some shortly, the erio can grow tall I guess but I'm hoping it stays tight under higher light, keep in mind your endured an extra few days of travel. That would be the limno.. looks 10x better than when I planted it this morning!

I can't get over that Blyxa hedge. Very grand. For a moment I thought that was anacharis in the rear left. Sorry.
I don't see much algae in there. I have not had Otos in a while. What do they eat (in terms of algae)? I have an Amano but all he does is go around fondling the plants and picking up flakes the fish miss.

Agree blyxa looks money. What are the two plants on either of the intake tube?

Thanks, I'm rather fond of it myself..there's plenty of algae.. substrate still. Killing me really, i just nuked it bigtime! Otos will clean the individual leaves, which I find priceless. 3 cleaned my 5 gal like no one's business. It's really the first week when they go nuts ime.
