"Nature Aquarium" Riparium in 15-gallon
- Thread starter hydrophyte
- Start date
It still hasn't grown in enough to do much for the scape, but the baby panda bamboo (Pogonatherum crinitum) has started to root in its planter and grow new leaves. I think that this will probably end up being a really great riparium plant. It will look so cool to have a little miniature bamboo stand growing up in the scape.
When I made this plant purchase I actually got two different P. crinitum selections, the regular species, and a second with whitish-green leaf pinstriping, var. variegatum. This variegated one is growing well too.
Like I say the baby panda bamboo hasn't really started to fill in much. In this shot you can see two planters of it over on the far left side of the tank.

I am going to re-do the layout in this tank with new stones and some new plants so I wanted to get a couple quick shots before moving stuff around. The plants have grown in real nice. This was a great selection of plants for a nano/smallish riparium setup.
I like the fish in this tank, but they don't photograph very well. I tried to get a shot with the tetras but it doesn't look like much. I mean to introduce some lighter-colored rocks and maybe also some bright green plants so that the underwater area won't be so dark.
Here's a good view of the emersed foliage.

While replanting this one I intend to use just the new trellis raft design. These should be real good for nano riparium setups.
This design has some nice features. There are two or three plastic snap fasteners and an extra puzzle-piece float. It is about 4" long. If snapped tight into place with the hanging planter it only sticks out a couple of inches. Here is a shot of one planted with some creeping charlie (Pilea nummularifolia).
