Hi guys,
I promised to keep you up2date every other week and I will try my best. But sadly, the current state of the tank does not show a lot of changes. Plants are just growing and getting trimmed.
But as we are now two months into this tank, I start thinking about changes I would like an things that are disturbing my joy. The latter is what I would like to address the most Some of them are:
1. my shrimp don't care about me enjoying a plain sand area. They constantly move everything that's not white to the forground and I think they are giggling while watching me remove the mess every week
I was thinking to adress this by adding a complete carpete of dwarf hairgrass to the tank. It grows well inside and looks awesome. Maybe this would please we. And if not, plants can be remove without any problems.
Also I think I would mix the carpet with some other plants, maybe Randalisma rostratum, Cryptocoryne Parva or something else. I am pretty open for any suggestions here.
2. I love green. And I simply miss some of it inside of that tank. Sure, anything grows awesome, but is it enough for me?
This would be solved through the things said before.
3. I enjoy the right side of the tank due to the awesome reineckii mini. But for me, there is something missing on the left one.
More red would be too mucht I think. But some stems of Staurogyne Repens would give a similar shape and maybe they could give a great transition on the right side of the aquarium.
Those are just some thoughts of myself about the tank. Maybe I will realize them, maybe not. I think this will be dependend on my own wishes for change and the grade of satisfaction with the tank over the course of the next weeks. Thats one part of this hobby, that I really enjoy. In my opinion, there is no such thing as a perfectly planned tank, it's more of a journey to happiness
This was some other kind of update, no images, just thoughts, but I hope thats appealing as well.
Have a nice day and enjoy your tanks.
