    Anyone Able to tell me what plants I have?? I'm clueless when it comes to identifying plants??

    I know I have Indian Fern on the far right, and Wysteria on the not quite far left, and then two small and poorly amazons in the middle, but otherwise I ain't gotta clue??

    Cheers

    Nice! Not sure what the palnts are called. I am also trying to find out what the plant right in the back of your tanks is called.

    I got a small piece (2cm) with some fish i bought and it has since grown to about 30cm! It has a very nice "sway" in the current....

    Hey Scaly!

    Thanks man, I'm really rather Happy with how its looking now, it took me a few adjustments to get it the way I wanted, but I think its pretty much as is now, but I always find that once I get new plants i have to rearrange a bit more!

    The stuff at the back just completely took off when i planted it! It was actually at the front where the wysteria is now, but it soon overtook that so I swopped them around!

    The wysteria shot up rapidly at first, but then suddenly just stopped where it is! I was told it would grow continuously and require regular trimmings to control it!

    Anyhow, thats enough for now!

    Oh, and the setup is mainly tetras as follows...

    8 Serpae Tetra
    6 Neon Tetra (cannot get these to acclimatise well, I've bought about 20 or 30 neons and only these six survived!)
    4 Pearl Gourami
    3 Boesmani Rainbows
    3 Bolivian Rams (did have 5= 2 males and 3 females, but one male and one female died! Again struggling with the innitial aclimatisation!)
    4 Chinese Hillstream Loaches (sold as Butterfly Plecos)
    5 Otocinclus Cats
    4 Banjo Cats
    1 Wood Catfish
    3 Khuli Loaches (2 Black, 1 Banded)
    1 Panther Loach (Sold as a weather Loach)
    2 Horseface Loaches
    1 Zebra Botia
    2 Pakistani Botia

    and a couple of random danios and white clouds!

    Really active tank now! Just would like to get a few more neons settled and I'll be happy!

    Cheers
    Big G!
