Plants are growing fast. Noticed the HM had a deficiency. Looks like nitrogen to me but if anyone else has a thought let me know!











Downoi is growing well. It's starting to get another shoot.

You're making me want to get a small betta tank...stop it! It looks so good I'm jealous!

 

[Asgerlund]

Looks really good! Amazing green colours. I envy that nature offers you pretty rocks

 

[Mumma.of.two]

Thank you both

Where do you order live plants from?

 

[Mumma.of.two]

I got these ones from eBay Australia. There are many places online that sell plants and when you've been a member long enough (15 days with 15+ posts) you can purchase from members here on AA.

Thank you. The Betta, Sherbet, is a nightmare. He's a cereal fin biter. I often see him with mouthfuls of his own fins. :/ crazy fish!

Thanks.
All that info is in my first post.
The carpeting plant is HM.

Update:
I gave the carpet a trim and managed to uproot a whole heap of it. Replanted what I trimmed in the gaps so i think i fixed it. Cut some chain sword runners that where going where I didn't want them to. Made a massive mess when I accidentally stabbed a clay root tab with my tweezers. Tanks all cloudy now so no pics yet.

Awesome! Thanks! Ill have to look into those ferts. What is HM?

They are Aussie ferts. Don't think Aquagreen ships overseas. HM = 'hemianthus micranthemoides'.

Ah yes, we have stuff like flourish and excel, do you use those?

Is there a common name for them?

 

[Mumma.of.two]

The stuff I use is basically the same stuff but stronger. A guy here in Aus makes his own mix with dry ferts and sells it online. I can get excel and flourish but it's expensive compared to the Dino range.

Great, thanks for the help mumma

Excuse the muddy water, bad pics and the junk stacked around the tank.

Honestly the luckiest fish ever

My father came with me last time I went to a pet shop and saw a tank about the size you have and he looked really interested. After seeing how gorgeous you set up yours, I think I'll get it for him and show him your pictures. He'd love it!
Amazing job, Mumma!
