Tenellus with Hydrocotyle?

[Tom]

Can anyone think of any examples of someone using E. tenellus and Hydrocotyle together? I can't picture it at the moment - would it work, or just look odd with the different leaf shapes? Would probably add Glosso too if I did it.

I've had the hardscape for my Mini M for weeks now, but I keep changing my mind on planting. There's less than 50% space for planting and I'm torn between Hairgrass, Glosso, Tenellus, Hydrocotyl or a mixture (more likely).... or go for stems!

If I were you I'd try it all. You'll only need a couple of pots of each, as it's a nano. You'll soon realise what looks best and works for you. Then you can use UKAPS to pass on any excess plants you may end up with!

Good luck.

I think its blyxa rather then tennellus but its still a grassy type thats thicker then hairgrass.

Hello Tom

Its a good combo, AndyH's used it with great effect in his kitchen tank. Its under the featured scapes now
I'm also do a Hydocotyle and Hairgrass into Blyxa mix on one side and along the back of my nano and it looks really smart.

Update your nano journal ya damned heaven

Tom, which Hydrocotyle are you asking about? If its Hydrocotyle sibthorpides (sp?), I think it'll look really good when it starts creeping among and above the tenellus. Here's an example of how it would look. You may need to register on the forum first though

It was actually Hydrocotyle verticillata I was thinking of, but looking at that sibthorpides it could work nicely. I haven't tried that before - you're giving me even more options now!!!
