Just Enjoying My Planted Tank
7.jpgMalawa shrimp... I have three berried. I also have CRS, RCS-many berried, Amano-5 berried, and two or three orange eyed blue...which stick together and hide in the mass of moss.
8.jpgClose up of flora and fauna.. note the assassin love top left corner. I don't know why, but I LOVE assassin snails!
9.jpgShrimp, plants, driftwood, once piece of lava rock, strangely clear water at Ph7.4- out of the well, and approx 72 degrees
10.jpgNot THE most glamorous 29gal, but I can sit mesmerized... all shades of green plants, pink/red plants, and a Red Rubra bulb I am waiting to poke through any day now. A couple types of Crypts (pontederiifolia, wendtii, lingua), Apo. natans, flame moss, Philipine java fern, regular java fern, Pellia, Pearl moss, Marimo balls (3 little ones), and various pieces of Anubias - nana, and larger types. There are other types of plants I can't remember. Some are from Ben like the red in the middle back, and the tall grass back right. I forget what the super fast growing technical name is for the guppy grass as well as a long stringy tube like thing with nice green leaves and clingy roots.
I hope you enjoy.
12.jpgMy two male bn plecos. One is albino (in top of flower pot rim) and the other is Calico. There is one female brown bn pleco in the tank. Luckily there have been no altercations between the two males. My albino is quite lazy and I can find him most days in the same spot. The calico is beautiful in person and his bristles are growing nicely. He is a year younger than the albino.
13.jpgWide variety of foliage for the shrimp, cories, plecos, snails and glo fish
fish.jpgAnother view
fish4.jpgAnother closeup.

16.jpgAnother view of plants and shrimp
17.jpg I love my assassins
I have some regular flourish I add once every other week. Regular fluorescent bulb in the fixture. Tank sits in front of closed blinds/covered window but light still lightens the room. Yesterday I added a weekend feeder thing, and the shrimp went crazy and they began molting like crazy. I do add CO2 tabs to this plastic thingie and the plants do seem to like it. I keep a cheap tetra set-temp heater to keep it above 70 but there is nothing of any great expense which is keeping these plants, shrimp, or fish -alive.
I enjoy it. Some may feel it is an eyesore, but if you know me... I don't care hahahahaha... This is a piece of chaotic peace for me. All of these pictures were taken using my cell phone - the LG-Thrill. Anyway...my little piece of heaven -in water ;-)
