It's been over a month since I've updated this tank.
It's still a work in progress and not really very Dutch at this moment, but right now I'm just fascinated with watching the growth and am letting the tank basically do what it wants to do.
Other than a little green spot algae on the glass and on the the anubia leaves, there is no algae. To be honest, I've been kind of lax on both water changes, ferts, and CO2, but I would maybe miss like a dose or two, so It hasn't been that bad. Other than some diatoms in the beginning, I haven't had any big problems.
I've removed most of the stems and will probably remove the rest eventhough they are growing well. I just didn't much like them.
The hydrocotyle is crazy!
I need to move it to the back and let it grow, but with work, I have little time for anything other than changing the water and dosing. I love it, it's just all over the place and I need to control it soon.
The moss wall is also very thick and I'll have to trim soon. I'll give some away then.
Some pictures for you to look at. I have a new 10mega pixel camera now with macro, so I've been playing with it.
Crazy moss wall.
Crazy growth!
Hydrocotyle pearling.
Close-up of an oto. I have no clue what they are eating. I do not feed them. They hated the pellets. They are fat, though, so they must be eatiing something, probably mulm. They poop like typical plecos.
Baby nymphaea, from my outdoor tub. Growing quite well after a rough start.
Fissidens fontalis, neat moss.
Three otos, fourth one was on the other side
Crazy hydrocotyle; dropchecker was just changed, which is why it is not an apple green.

This tank has been fun. I think it is stable enough now to add more than the 4 otos I have currently have. I will probably be ordering some small rasboras in the very near future, but my gut says to do the rescape first.
