Thanks everyone!! After so many attempts in POTM and TOTM the tank finally got a chance to shine.. Though it was a close call, there were plenty of other great planted tanks this month as well.

Congratulations, What is the red plant floating at the upper left hand corner?

lol first i would like to say excuse me for the floating plants at the top.. I couldnt get a better shot of the tank without the floaters so just gave in this one..

The red plant floating on top is Alternanthera reineckii

Doesnt include all the plant names but ones that are really in the open.


Thank You Posalena as well. The fish always tend to hide when i take photos. But if you look closely you can see rams in the lower right and otos on the left glass..

[BToast]

No suprise, the tank looks fantastic!

The clear plastic thing in the middle top of the tank is a breader box. I believe i had dwarf cray babies in there at the time. The plant in it was taiwan moss and riccia.
