haha, just found this about the hairgrass:

"Long grass-like stems to about 6 inches (15cm)"

Mines about 24"?

This is a good example of why it is important to use the latin name. The three hairgrasses are Eleocharis acicularis and Eleocharis `parvula`, both of which stay low and are used in the fore and mid ground. What you have is Eleocharis vivipara, which is very much a background plant and one that has grown to two feet for me, before I cut it back.

Hey

Tank is looking good! Only slight bug bare is the blue background! Would look better with a log or rock style background picture

Tanks coming along really well love the Rotala wallichii I think it is on the left side, you're getting some lovely colour out of it.

Keep up the good work

Cheers the background is painted, so not much i can do about it.

there has been so much growth in the last few days, its crazy. The lilly has about tripled its size, and has three lillypads on top, now. my java moss is actually growing haha. I might have to give it all a trim soon.

It does look really nice! Congratulations! The plant looks like pogostemon helferi to me.

 

[Esfa]

...how do you trim the lilly?

its taking up about 1/2 my tank and has 10 pads on the surface. I wanna trim it down a bit, but I would still like it to flower.

 

[Esfa]

I'm about to change it around, i think im gunna plant the whole background with stem plants, and I'm gunna get rid of that nasty caboma or whatever it is called.

 

[Esfa]

LOL!! I'VE KILLED IT.

It looks horrible.
