4 month tank update

[Tropical Tony]

Hi guys, well It’s been almost 4 months now since I decided to jump back into the wonderful world of tropical fish keeping. After years off I decided to give it another go. It’s been a very interesting journey and I’ve learnt lots of new things (even after keeping tanks for years in the past). Anyway here’s my 4 month tank update pictures. The first one was taken at the very start of May. The second was tonight.

Thanks guys! I’m obsessed with it at the moment it’s every other night I’m doing something to it haha. Maybe I’ve got a problem

That is a really beautiful tank, may I ask, could you post the photo again with text labels for each of the plants? Or list them. This really is so pretty <3

Thanks guys it’s taken a while to get the plants happy but think I’m turning a corner with them.
Plants are as follows

dwarf hair grass (mini) - bottom right
Monte Carlo (can’t see in picture)
Lilaeopsis brasilliensis - bottom left
Hydrocotyl tripartita - growing around the rocks
Cryptocoryne balansae - big centre plant
Blaxa japonica - bottom left corner
Java moss - obvious
Hygrophila siamensis 53B -back left and a little bit back right
Hygrophila polysperma - back right
Ludwigia palustris mini super red - to the right of crypt and also around centre rock.

That’s it I think haha hope that helps!

Like the back left one a lot.
Hydrophilia Siamensis 53B....any good in 19dh 340ppm water?

Just seen proshrimp do a tropica one on eBay.
Watched.

I have really soft water in my area and find it to grow really slow compared to the other plants in the tank. It grows outwards more than upwards if anything but it’s supposed to be a quick grower. From what I’ve read they don’t mind he’s water.

This is it in my nano (RHS). That all started life as a single Tropica pot, and I have the same amount again in another tank (from the same pot).
