My first 'real' planted tank

[danielp]

Awesome start. A small group of Tetra's would set it off if you could part with or move the puffers to another tank.

I tried mixing pea puffers with neon's in my plant tank. Within 24 hours the puffers were feasting in neon fins. Puffers went bye bye

Been working on this for several weeks now and FINALLY feel like it's ready to post a pic. Thank you to everyone who contributed plants, knowledge, advice, etc...you know who you are...

I love it! It's got that great jungle-y, natural feel without looking overgrown.

Did I miss anything?

Well... you could tell us what plants you have in there.

Looks gorgeous, I've alwasy loved planted tanks. I especially like that one at City Pets on the end of the last isle by the wall. I stand there and watch the fish enjoy all the cover and circulation.

Well... you could tell us what plants you have in there.

I'll try.......

Alternanthera reineckii
Anubias barteri
Blyxa japonica
Cabomba furcata
Cryptocoryne wendtii 'bronze'
Echinodorus amazonicus
Hemianthus micranthemoides
Juncus Repens
Nymphaea lotus zenkeri red
Corkscrew Valisnarria
Java Moss
Hydrocotyle leucocephala
Micranthemum umbrosum
Sagittaria subulata

And then there's the grassy stuff on the far right that I don't know what it's called. Anyone want to tell me?

[Bogdan]

I like it very much.

Looking good! where did you get Juncus repens from?
Cheers,
Luis

[imagirlgeek]

Thank you! Mike had some left over that he gave me at PlantFest.

[Navarro]

That's what I thought; I don't think is Juncus repens but Potamogeton gayii I should be able to ID the plant when I stop by to see your set up.
Cheers,
Luis

[imagirlgeek]

I would love that! Whenever you have time, please stop by.

I just went off the label that was on the bag, and googling really doesn't help me ID plants because the same plant can look subtly different in various photos. I just need a direct link to your head.

[Navarro]

The plant came from our sister club in Dallas when I saw it I told them to correct the name but I guess they forgot.
Cheers,
Luis
