Re: Ryuoh lagoon - (Semi-Planted)
Hey guys,
Well as promised, The
ammania sp. 'Bonsai' went in today so I therefore have a few phone shots:
Again, as expected the plant was in really good condition, and packed. Tropica have worked wonders with these 1-2-Grow! pots.
Now from here on, I want your suggestions if the scape will look better without the Aponogetons, I know which one I now prefer Ian
Maybe when I get that tall growth, I can introduce something similar.
I have added some
Blyxa Japonica behind the back left rock (cheers Hoggie!) and the
ammania sp. 'bonsai' is littered about mainly at the back just peeking from behind the rock when you look up the path. Should create a nice backdrop.
PS. I know my water level is at a bad level because of floor/cabinet. This bugs the crap outta me, but when I build my ADA homegrown, this should not be a problem
Also, I have just been raking about so the water is a little cloudy
Heres with the Aponogetons:

Plants list :
Rotala Rotunifolia
Pogostemon Helferi
Ammania sp. 'Bonsai'
Eleocharis sp. 'Mini'
Blyxa Japonica
Staurogyne Repens
Hemianthus Micranthemoides
Cryptocoryne 'Green'
Cryptocoryne 'Parva'
And now I think I'm going to let the grow in period take place, and leave everything for about a month hopefully. Dependent on how quick everything shoots up, there is also the ammonia leech from Amazonia Aquasoil.
As for Fauna, Im going to have a look at what I want in there. I was initially thinking Rummynoses, but I dont know if they'll be too big in comparison to the scape.
Zebra Ottos are a definite yes.
I'm thinking a shrimp colony too, possibly Fire Red/Sakura.
What do you lot think?
Thanks,
