Start of planted 10g
- Thread starter keith42
- Start date
Amazon sword has probably tripled in size in roughly 60 days maybe less
Dwarf hair is slowly growing. The clumps to great as far as length growth but propagation is very slow.
Java moss is slow. Which I find odd because from what I read it should be allover the place by now. Maybe other plants slightly choking it? I'm not sure
Also in same pic as above I took some java fern out of my other tank and threw it in here. Also call 're growth. Which surprises me because it another hardy easily grown plant.
All in all, everything is doing well. The slow growers are by no means dying, just taking their time. And everything is healthy with great color.

The tank looks great. I've been messing around with a 15g and a few 10g with my first plants, I also have a pair of Apistos in the 15g. It's good fun stuff. You still have your Apistos and any luck in breeding them?
Sorry for the lack of updates recently. So unfortunately my female apistogramma suffered an injury and passed 
it was a sad day for me. My male is beautiful and very lively. I also added 4 cardinal tetras.
As far as my scaping goes, I kinda let Everything go for the holidays and I am now working on getting it all back together. I left town on vacation and my co2 ran out. (Keep in mind this is my first planted tank) I've never seen so much algea!!! It over took everything in a matter of days! All fish were healthy though. So I've basically had to chop everything down. And I'm still working on getting it all out. All the plants are going to have to grow back out. But hopefully I can get some nice lush growth.
So in light of my co2 incident I'm think of switching to a small injection. Does anyone know (on average) how long those small cartridges last? Anyway, I'm going to research it some more.
That's where I'm sitting for now. I'll get some pics up in the next day or two.
Any question or comments let me know

If you're doing co2 and need it, it's more cost effective to get a proper pressurized system and just get whatever size co2 tank you want. I'd go about a 10lb tank, give or take 5lbs. Although if you went up to 20lb you'd probably only need to refill it once a year.
