Lovely effect, I love the fish against the dark background. As previously stated, nice to see you´re fighter with his ladeez, any spawning ?
 
he's making bubble nests all the time and i think one female is pregnent but not sure if its the righ conditions for fry?
 
The top halfs very nice, the underwater sections a little untidy but over all very well done.
Does your lily behave for you? Are all the pads pretty small?
 
thanks! the lily grows really fast but is easily controlled. The pads start small but grow really large. How would you improve the under water section? Im fairly new to aquascaping and would love some pointers!
 
hey guys thinking about trying to train the creeping jenny up a piece of larger driftwood, id rescape the rest, any thoughts?
 
right so moved house now and eventually found some time to sort out my tank looking good, cut the creeping jenny right back as it melted a little but its started to grow back already! also trimmed the pilea as they where getting taller than the spathilium!

sorry for some refelctions in pics havent got blinds up in livingroom yet, still the tank isnt in direct sunlight
 
thanks! Just gettin the water paremeters back up to standard now!
 
im moving all my bettas to another tank along with the kitty tetras that are left.

So the two species of fish left in the riparium will be a brisstle nose plec and three panda cories.
I really want to make a tetra riparium and not sure which way to go? Either to have jus one species of 12 fish or have a mixed shoal?
 
I recently mixed my shoal in my 180 litre and I'm not sure if it was a wise move. But saying that, I have seen some tanks where it really works?

My point being, that I have no point!

Tank looks great, I'm hanging on to my planters for when I can fit another, bigger tank into the house that I can turn into a proper riparium like yours.

Cheers
Paul
