My new 55gal

[AK-71]

Here is my new 55gal I started to upgrade 29gal I had.
I really like how plants just took off, guess ADA soil made the difference. (It's under the gravel because of cory cat's I have)



PS. I posted it in "General" too, but nobody noticed it  :( .
I think  I know now how my wife feels when I fail to notice her new haircut.

I saw it, but I couldn't see it! Tried clicking on it, something went wrong.  :(

But now I see it! Could you post a list of the plants you have?

Re: My new 55gal

Sorry for a slow response, it is embarrassing, but I don’t remember all of the names
That’s what I think I have:
Ludwigia repens
Onion plants
Java Moss (on coconut shell)
Willow Java Fern (on driftwood)
Some Amazon Sword
One Anubias of some kind I don't remember
Dwarf Sagittaria
Rotala Indica (lost all it's pink after replanting, but started to grow
very fast)
Some kind of lotus [red pad one - it's red only on the "high" shoots(CityPets just call it “Lotus”, but I got it in Fish Gallery)
Limnophia aromatica (not that red animore)

Re: My new 55gal

Do you have plans to dose ferts? How much lighting is on the tank?

L.Aromatica and R.Indica/Rotundifolia will get the red color back with high light, co2 and good ferts/iron.

Viet/Asian Markets sell it for 0.69 a bundle in the emersed form under the name "Rau Ngo" or "Rau Om". Really easy for it to change to submerged form.
