keithgh Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 6371 Kudos: 6918 Votes: 1542 Registered: 26-Apr-2003	Edited by keithgh Here are four photos before and after. As you can see there is a problem in photographing a Bay window tank. The alteration was made to open up the front and front RH corner for a better water movement and clean up a clutered corner. I am now looking for more very low plants. Photo No 1 is before the alterations. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my [link=Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos]http://photobucket.com/albums/b209/keithgh/Betta%20desktop%20tank/[/link Keith *Attached Image:* Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

I moved all the front Anubias back and placed two pieces on small rocks to act as the retaining wall as you can see it has now opened up the front and the RH Bay corner also it has given more space to the front Anubias.

The space in front of the Crypts is reserved for more Crypt Nevilii when they are ready. I am also open to any other idea BUT they must be a very low plants and grow easly with all the other plants. I know there are several ground cover plants but some can get out of control and spoil the whole effect of what I am wanting.

I think I might have more chance finding hen's teeth. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

keithgh Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 6371 Kudos: 6918 Votes: 1542 Registered: 26-Apr-2003	For the front forground I am looking at Anubias nana "petite" it is a very small variety but apprently hard to get in Aust. The other one is Monosolenium tenerum common name "Pellia" also difficult to locate, any ideas would be appreciated. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

baz Fingerling Posts: 34 Kudos: 21 Votes: 133 Registered: 22-Dec-2004	Hi Keith. There is a guy in Malaysia that sells Pellia on ebay. He ships worldwide. The sellers name is aquaticmagic and his feedback is pretty good. Also saw something he's selling called mini pellia that looks very nice and is suitable in low tech/light, or so he says. I'm not familiar with it, but may give it a try myself.

He sells both petite nana and pelia. Both seem to ship really well, as I've bought both from them. Critical Fertilator: The Micromanager of Macronutrients

keithgh Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 6371 Kudos: 6918 Votes: 1542 Registered: 26-Apr-2003	I have never used Ebay and I would have no idea of how to go about it I have contacted a plant supplier in Aust and for some reason it is extremly difficult to get it could be a import problem brought in years ago *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

If the feed back is good, and it seems to be for this guy (thanks for the great suggestion, Matty), I would not hesitate to buy from him, plus you have Matty's reassurance
