ok good news ond bad news
bad-the swords arent doing so great, there doing the exact same as my other swords
good-the anubias put out 4 leaves in 2 weeks, and is putting up a flower
this problably happens all the time in the high tech setups but its still really exciting
ill post some pics also ive cut off 2 new shoots from the wisteria and replanted them
and there already growing!! cant believe it i was thinking that my water just isnt suttable for swords
and i may give up on them. but since the hygrophilia is doing so good i might go and by some of the different
hygro the have, i think its hygrophilia angustifolia-cant spell the name properly

wooo i bbought more wisteria and an onion plant, and they look great!
the tank is finally starting to fill in a bit. I also got a pearl gourami, which i think is
one of the prettiest fish

i did get rid of the male angel though because he was totally stressing out the new gourami and
was beating up my pretty black angel and making her drop a couple scales! i was so mad :grr:

got 5 bleeding heart tetras(thanks for the inspiration radar!!)
the wisteria is growing slow, but it is very green. i love it!!!
hoping to go get some more wisteria, and will get some aponogeton crispus
What do you guys think?
i also want to get some java fern to put on the drift wood or elsewhere.
the swords arent doing so good.
maybe its just my aquarium
i was thinking of trying the radican sword
its the only other sword i havent tried from the lfs
What do you guys think i should put in(plants?)
fish suggestions?
tiger lotus are finally staring to put out new leaves too!!
took awhile

argentine sword.
that is the swords they sold me.
which, by the way, has one of the lowest gh tolerances

!!!
so, the radican sword and ruffled sword have higher gh tolerances so as soon as possible
i will buy a couple of those.
i happy i found this out!!
i think im going to put some rocks throughout he set up with java fern on them
it should look pretty good!
i would buy some java moss, but the stuff at the lfs looks terrible

flyhawk · Oct 14, 2009

i have some neew picks
the wisteria is doing good
i ordered some plants on line from aquarium plants .com
i got the echindorus red flame and the ozelot
both swords are supposed to have a tolerance of 0-30 gh tolerance
also getting pennywort, rotala indica, and crypt wendtii-heard its the easiest cryp to keep

the angelfish is also rrecovering nicely!

i am exciteted about the new plants!!!

i take terrible pics of anubias!!!!

:hyper:

flyhawk · Oct 16, 2009

got my plants!!!!! :kana:

the echindorus red flame was huge!!
im very exciteted
they bunch of rotala indica they gave me was anough for two spread out patches!
i will get some pics up tomarrow
the fish already love the new plants.
the pennywort also looks real good, and im expecting good growth out of it
the ozelot swod i got was kind of small, but maybe it was because it was dwarfed
by the huge red flame!!!!!!!
