Surprised they mixed your order up, but not surprised they refunded your order. I've had nothing but good experiences with the customer service at TFP.

This may be your mystery plant: Myriophyllum simulans "Filigree Myrio" | Bunched Plants | Live Aquarium Plants | Aquarium Livestock - ThatPetPlace.com

ThatFishPlace is a great company. I submitted a picture to them, it got on the cover of the catalog, and they gave me a $40 gift card! The thing in the catalog said you'd get $20, so I don't know why I got 40. Oh well!

They are I totally agree! Never had any problems in the past and this was resolved very quickly! They'll definetly be getting future orders. That's sick that you got a pic in the mag. I've seen some nice fish in there but never really though they came from "real" people lol. Congrats man! And hey $40s better then $20 anyday I wouldn't complain either lol

From what I know they have, that looks to be what you received. I could be wrong though

Just wait until a couple weeks go by and that Rotala has grown...your tank will be looking great! It can be a fast grower; I normally have to trim at least a few stems of mine back at every weekly PWC!

Underwater cityscape lol. JK .

I vote for black.

I'm going try doing the window tint (film for cars) method this weekend.

 

[mfdrookie516]

I prefer the paint method myself, but I also have a tank with a black tape on background. Black+plants=incredible. I'm not too happy with the blue on my 125.

With a tank setup, or before?

 

[mfdrookie516]

Either way. Just roll it on for simplicity. Spray paint, IMO, scratches too easy.

I was thinking of painting it, should have done it before it was filled . I think I'm going to try the stick on and see how it looks. I like the way the plants pop with a black background. Thanks again!
