as you can see from the first pic they are in a smallish aquarium (70 litre breeder) I have recently moved them into a 3foot witch gives them allot more space to grow out. And hopefully more spathes!!
 
Is this tank covered or misted very regularly? I'm tempted by this idea now. I'm thinking loads of crypts, and making an acrylic lid, then keep some poison darts in there. They've very beautiful plants.
 
Hi Henry.

i mist every third day with normal tap water. our water here in Cape Town is VERY soft so no issue using it. i would love to use some frogs but its prohibited here:(

get allot of moss also. as you can see i have a full moss carpet in there witch stops any BGA wanting to grow on the substrate.
