 | New 55 Planted Tank |
Sandy02  Enthusiast Posts: 174 Kudos: 123 Votes: 34 Registered: 11-Jan-2004   | Can anybody help me identify some of these plants? Or give me suggestions for the tank (I'll have better pictures up later tonight when I can get some without glare, for now this is what I have) http://www.imperialpraxium.org/~kitty/Tank55/ |

A very striking piece of driftwood just off center pointing towards the rest of the tank should give it a good center.^_^  Current [link=Contest Rules]http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/forums/Aquascaping/44382.html?200412022138" style="COLOR: #EB4288[/link]  |

| Babelfish Administrator Small Fry with Ketchup Posts: 6833 Kudos: 8324 Votes: 1570 Registered: 17-Apr-2003 | Hmmm real plants huh....well I'm not familar with every type of aquatic plant, just that I've never even seen most of those...looks like it could be red temple Alternathera reinekii on the far right (magenta and green) but the leaves look a little too wide ... I think a post in the planted forum is in order .^_^ Current [link=Contest Rules]http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/forums/Aquascaping/44382.html?200412022138" style="COLOR: #EB4288[/link] |
