Still feel like a newb.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Thank you. I still give the tank a blast of CO2 periodically. I have found that if I leave it on too long the fish start to struggle for air. Generally I will put it on for an hour or two at barely a trickle. Plants will pearl up but fish seem to handle it ok.
 
I removed the hygro today. Still looked really healthy but they were taking over the tank and I wanted the background to be more prominent.
 
The evolution of this tank continues. Removed most of the sword plants. The anubias has been growing extremely well and I am letting it spread out. The rhizomes on the two plants in the front of the tank are about 10 inches long.
I also added almond leaves as litter to the bottom of the tank. The neons in particular seem to enjoy this addition. Obviously the water has been stained.

I love that my three tanks are all different in their setup. The planted tank is chugging along. Bristlenose destroys the almond leaves but I still enjoy the look. Lost 2 of the neons recently but the rams are still looking good. I assume all 5 are males at this point as I have seen zero pairing off.

Decided to do a little maintenance on the tank tonight. Larger than normal water change, trimming the leaves and I actually pulled one of the rocks with an Anubias attached from the rear of the tank. The roots had actually grown into the background and I had to peel it off. I am sure many here have had this experience but I was blown away by the size of the rhizome on these things. This is all one plant.
