Havent updated this in a long time so here we go...
Fish wise i have...
10 lemon tetras
6 cherry barbs
2 bolivian rams
2 kribensis
1 platy
Few neons (soon will be changing these for harlinquin rasboras or rummynose tertras)
Plant wise...
Duck weed grows crazy. Every week i chuck out 90% of it so it doesnt stop the light coming through.
Vallis is going pretty good. Spreading across the top of the tank.
All my anubias is growing slowly but going strong.
Crypts have taken over the bottom of the tank which i really like.
Swords get really big and then die off which i dont understand. Currenty small ive just trimmed off all the dead leaves now waiting for it to grow back.
My xmas moss is a mess and grows a bit out of controll so need to do something with that.
Looking for some pennywort for the right side of the tank, never had it before and would quite like to give it a go.
Also looking for elodea for the back of the tank. Had it before and grew out of control. And thats what i want for the back right corner if the tank.
Stil have a black bag as a background lol. I really need to buy a proper black background!
I was going to set my other tank up to bred my kribensis but they laid eggs a few times which got eaten and since then ive had no breeding behaviour in months. So that idea isnt goung to happen anymore.
Think thats everything.
Heres a fts....

Finally added a black back ground lol. So much better then having a bin bag haha.
Ive added a red toger lotus aswell. Really like the look of it so far. I do have a queston about it though. Does it take a while to go red? At the moment its very green still, it does have small little dots of red but not alot. Isit because it just started growing (i got it just as a bulb) or isit because my lighting isnt good enough so it will stay green?
Also added pennywort at the back its very small at the moment so you cant see it. My crypts are hiding it at the moment lol. So i need that to grow in and still waiting for my swords to grow back. Ive added root tabs which has helped. But there growing really slowly which is anoying.
I moved the big plant pot to make room for the toger lotus. ever since ive done that my kerbensis doesnt use it. There always in the spot the pot was but theres nothing for them to hide in. So ive added a coconut cave today so hopefully there start using that.
Anyway a couple of pics

Tiger lotus.. Still quite small not had it long but loving how it looks so far. CanIt grows so much every day though so wont be long untill it reaches the top of the tank. Cant believe the growth rate of the plant though. Are all bulb plants like this? Anyone know of any other bulb plants?
