Brings a tear to my eyes too...

you made a funny!

is that the crypt parva in the loach pics?

[eklikewhoa]

what is that background long grass plant called? looks nice

That's the tanganyikan Valisneria, I like Val Nana better but seeing as this one is nice too!

It's been growing like mad for me so if you want some I can break you off some in a few weeks. I gave kiko some.

nice space man. i like it alot.

Thanks!
I much rather this scape to allow for more foreground for the shrimp to play(so I can see them) and with the other jumble the brigittae would hide more.

Like a christmas tree with candy canes!

Looks like mud bugs to me :?

Just came in the mail!

[eklikewhoa]

Indeed they are but not as filling come time

[Totenkampf]

i have some of the val nana and it does look cool but it isnt growing very fast, maybe it doesnt establish as quickly as the more common types or maybe it really needs CO2 to thrive. I have not been supplementing that for a few weeks, about the time as I got the val. the jungle / spiral vals have still been going nuts tho so maybe they like different parameters

[eklikewhoa]

That's my experience with the val. nana, requires rich substrate and co2.

How much of it do you have and do you have some you would like to part with?

[Totenkampf]

i received just two small single plant clumps when i bought some plants from another boxer. you will be first on the list if i get them going after i get the tank sorted out after the number of mechanical failures that i have had lately. i dont normally use root tabs on vals but i will give some to these guys.

[eklikewhoa]

Hows your set up on the tank?

[LooksLater]

Looks great, I like the focus in the middle like that.

[madehtsobi]

those CPO from that aquabid guy??

u think we should pull trigger on his SSS?

[eklikewhoa]

Yeah they are from him.

I'm gonna request for pictures of what he's selling. The shipping was ok and they came in alive, idunno about his method with the breather bags but he says he's never lost any.
