I really like this tank. So tidy and pretty. You should create a journal in the planted section. I'd personally love to know more details about your setup and a journal would be perfect for that. I also enjoy the bare-gravel in the front, as I keep corydoras and their relatives. I've got 6 Brochis in my 36g and they really enjoy the extra swimming space. They are also little freight trains and sometimes damage as they plow through.

I would love to show you one if I ever got to see him LOL always hiding, at one stage I thought it was dead as I failed to spot it for over 6 months and then decided to some major changes on the way the plants were and there he was underneath the log lol I will try

Cardamine lyrata

Interested to know, have you found that this shoots out roots everywhere and looks a little unsightly? I'm considering this in a new tank but someone said they had issues with it looking like a big lump of roots and leaves which put me off...

Thanks for all the comments guys.

The Riccia was originally attached to 3 rocks and only one managed to survive, and the HC kept getting uprooted by the Clown loaches so that is nearly all gone.
I am going to try a bit more of Riccia to cover some of the gravel. Will post some photos when I do so.

Its not the best plant ever but for what I need its doing its job, problem is that the stems seem to rot away too easy even though the top of the plant is healthy and growing, which means it keeps getting detached from the gravel and I have to fight a constant battle of removing old steams from the water and replanting it.
Also it doesn't grow very fast.
