Those are Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Bronze.' I love the coloration, and under highlight the stems take on a rich purpley-brown color.fishNAbowl said:What type of crypts do you have ? I like the bronze tone under the leaves.
Apparently there is still some confusion in the industry regarding Persicaria 'Kawagoeanum' about it's taxonomic status, as there is a Persicaria kawagoeana that may or may not be related :?: :?:fishNAbowl said:I was wondering about the Persicaria 'Kawagoeanum' because I have some plants that looked like the plant in your picture. But looking at pictures on the Internet the mature form looks a bit different. This plant looks like it gets leggy and would look nice growing amongst other bushy background plants. I hope you have success with growing this plant out !
The crypt bronze is a nice plant. I've seen them get pretty big though. But they develop an amazing color.
One of your for ground plants looks like staurogyne Repens. I am trying to grow this plant in my 140. Being two foot deep it's growing super slow. I hope it fills out like yours is doing.
Thanks! They do like to chase each other a bit, but for the most part they leave each other alone. Though the 3-Spots are always chasing each other. I think the biggest key to my success with keeping them was that I added all of them at once, and all of the 3 Spots were juvies. So long as there aren't any injuries or signs of stress I'm okay with them.PokeSephiroth said:That looks really great! I'm surprised those gouramis aren't going at each other!
Thank you!KaraWolf said:That looks fantastic!! Busy with fish and greenery.
Thanks!fishNAbowl said::spoton: - very nice bronzefighter.
I figured as long as the fish are not physically constrained by their space, and you are able to keep them stress-free and water parameters in check, then stocking levels are more of a...suggestion. Just make sure that you know what you are doing! !:KaraWolf said:hehehehe I do get a kick out of it your right! LOL. Makes me feel better when I'm tempted to stock at 120% to fill out schools and whatnot.
Thank you! that's my aquatic nerdout corner. I have all 5 of my GSAS Horticultural Award Programs certs framed and mounted there and update them as I move up the levels, along with some other awards I've won. Maybe one day I'll actually put some effort into the Breeder Award Program :cichlid-gal said:Wow...love those plaques...the ones that say "expert aquatic horticulturist". Well done (hee hee...and the tanks looks pretty good too). Nice work Dylan
