Tear's five gallon fern factory

[tear-scar]

When I get lazy, stem plants and high maintenance plants often find themselves in buckets.

Anyway, totally redid the 5 gal without any stem plants except for m. micranthemoides-- going to try to make it carpet. Bought some hair grass, some extra crypts, and went for a look that was easier to maintain.

Fantastic "tiny" tank! It certainly doesn't look as small as you say it is. Gorgeous.

Very nice mate. Is that a Nutrafin co2 system I spy? I'm getting rid of mine on Saturday and finally getting a pressurized system, can't wait!!

Looks great, can't believe it's only a 5 gallon....looks a lot bigger...

Thanks all, I really appreciate the comments. )

Oh it IS small . . .

With Dwarf Licorice Gouramies, Ember Tetras (adult length .75 inches), micro rasboras, and pygmy cories . . . lol

gf225-- you nailed it buddy. Good luck with the pressurized system-- should be a lot more convenient and reliable. I wish I had a tank worth meriting one, but any cheap tank under 20 gallons, I cannot see justifying buying a pressurized system.

Wow! It looks fantastic, tear-scar! That so does not look look like a 5 gal...more like a 20 at least!

Thanks arashi! I enjoy this tank thoroughly . . .

Thanks guys. I think I might talk to a breeder friend this weekend . . . there's another species of micro rasbora besides the maculata, and he says he might be able to get me some.

Very nice tank

I wish i could keep plants like that. Even java ferns die out on me

Just do a bit of reading and I'm sure you could get it.

Super looking small tank, looks very healthy tank

I think this a great example of a planted tank you can create without spending a fortune
