Osprey Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Here's my 10 gallon high light... still a work in progress. The only fish in this tank so far is my betta, Simon. I also have 5 amano shrimp (visible on the glass and on the bottom front of the tank) and numerous MTS. I wanted galaxy rasbora for this tank, but now they're endangered in the wild, so I'm holding off until commercial breeding is established (though I may just get impatient and get some endler's instead... we'll see). I also plan to get some pygmy cories. (I know that results in a heavily stocked tank, but there should be enough plants to compensate ) The dark stuff on the bottom level is aquasoil that's being rebellious and spreading all over the place. I'm divided on what to do about that; I'm hoping that once the plants have grown in a little more, the soil will stay put. Otherwise, I may switch out the playground sand for some Tahitian Moon Sand (it's black, so it'll blend in a little better). The plant in the middle level is pearlgrass; it was substituted for the H. callitrichoides that I had ordered, and I don't much care for the growth habit... a little too brambly for my tastes. So Colby (at Elite) is ordering some in for me, and when I get it, I'll switch species. The lights are regular old screw-in compact fluorescents. I dose with Flourish Excel and I have fertilizer tabs in the substrate, but I'm trying to avoid water column fertilizers for the sake of my shrimp.

What is it that's making that lovely lawn in the front? It's gorgeous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegrandpoohbah Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 What is it that's making that lovely lawn in the front? It's gorgeous! Hemianthus callitrichoides "cuba" or HC for short. Requires high light and CO2 to thrive and spread horizontally. Otherwise it grows taller and straggly. Click here for more info.
