Sorta getting geeked now, just bought 6 pygmy chain swords, these were divided into 12 & replanted in small basket type planters with rock wool. I like the look of the large and small chain sword species together.
I'll add the rest of the substrate over the next week or so, still hoping to avoid that ammonia spike. Dwarf water lettuce should be here around the same time as the spraybar, I'll hopefully have most of the plants properly planted by then. I really want to add some manzanita in a manner that suggest's roots...or perhaps just a fallen branch. Depends on what I can find. The coolest part is that I found the most perfect spawning plate ever. It's a clear glass fish shaped candy dish, or tray, with raised detail on the bottom & smooth surface on the inside. What makes it so cool is that it looks very much like a Keyhole cichlid.
