I am currently putting all my 'artistic talents' in this small thank.
Really enjoy looking at it.
And it doesn't even have Dwarfcichlids swimming in it:wink:

I have a black background in all my tanks. Painted the outside of the tanks.

@cacatuoides: I believe the specie is Najas guadalupensis. However there are a few other familymembers which look very similar.

Size: 15"x7,5"x7,5"

Fish and shrimps:
Pseudomugil gertrudae
Hisonotus leucofrenatus
Caridina serrata "Crystal red"
Caridina simoni simoni

Plants:
Cryptocoryne gekko
Eleocharis acicularis
Microsorium pteropus
Monosoleum tenerum
Vesicularia dubyana
Pogostemon helferi
Najas guadalupensis

Hi cageman,
Great aquascape! I loved the chosen plants. Looks like a perfect playground for Dwarfs :wink:

How does it go with the P. helferi, does it grow well? What are the water parameters?
Somehow it's a bit problematic to grow it in our region, although he gets all the right conditions...

Thanks!
The pH around 7. The kH 5 gH 8 and the temperature is 21 degrees Celcius.
The helferi grows perfect, every month the plant doubles itself.

There are no dwarfs in this tank. And there will be none in there, the might be a bit small to keep dwarfs without troubles.

Great tank!!

Anyhow, if there are a pair of super red eliza and/or double red tail aggie inside the tank, the sharp contrast between red and green will make the scene even more appealing!! :)

Thanks guys!
I'm having problems with some Algae. That's why the scape is going to change. Updates will come in time.:rolleyes:
Why change a good thing? You could add 2 or 3 otocinclus and it would clear up the algae bloom.
