65 tall South America biotope riparium

:wall: Don't you hate it when it gets overgrown and you have to pull ?
 
After posting that last picture I pulled almost all of the emersed plants out of the tank...

I'm inclined to leave it like this for a week or two to see if I can get some better growth from the underwater foliage.

I plan to replant with almost all new plants. This is one of them that I am going to include, the sweetflag Acorus gramineus 'Omogo'...

This is a handsome plant.
 
I took a few extra pictures of the Colocasia fallax 'Silver Dollar' taro when I yanked it out.

It has such attractive leaves. You can see to the left of the leaf a couple of spathes (flowers). The spathe on this plant is actually pretty dull and not much to look at.
 
Thanks again everybody. Yes that is a radicans sword, Echinodorus cordifolius. The tank doesn't look like much now. I am going to replant it this weekend. I will yank the radicans out of there too and the chameleon plant.

Ever think about keeping Copella arnoldi in one of these? Seems like a good fit.
