Yes, they are Green rasbora, the latin name is on the pics above. They stay green Steve, they don't shine green until they hit the right light. Then you get a brilliant green flash.

Yeah no I think steve thought they were the yellow ones, but they are green microrasbora is it? They look great in the flesh, how many did you get Ian?

 

[Ps3Steveo]

I meant it as a question lol, Ive seen green ones but was looking on my iphone and they looked yellow

My mirco rasbora liked to jump at lights off, watch out dude.

The stem - left center, is Ludwiga right? Will it get more red toned do you think? I love it when green as well, but assume your lighting is high enough to let it stay red.

it's Ludwigia diamond red, and will get redder (sp), i'll get a snap from the top in a few days...the lighting isn't that high. I'm not a believer in 'high light - red plants', it's more about C02 distribution and other small pointers. It is still in it's emmerged state, so will get hacked in a week or so.

Meh! You took down the Echindorus tank! I liked that one!

But...

I like this one too... Oh!

Very nice.

thanks llj, i like this one too. It's got plenty of hidding places, unlike the E. tank.

end of week one.

things done and changed. Had a leak of C02 that didn't see/hear...this lead to the Hygro getting some bba on it, i found a couple of pots of aromatica in my lfs, so added those and took out the Rosanavig. The C02 is sorted now, and i have also moved the diffuser from the inlet so i can keep an eye on it. Some neons also added yesterday, just to give it some colour. The crypts are melting nicely! It's just getting to that 'transition period'.

heres a quick pic.
