Here’s a quick update for those of you that are following this rescape of 60g tank.

We’ve been trimming heavily and spreading the cuttings to fill out areas for that lush look. The new colors are really popping off with the deep pinks, bright yellows and vibrant greens.

30/09/2023

you asked so we delivered.

A slight explanation is warranted though. On the left side, the Rotala Orange Juice need a trim but on closer inspection there was a lot of algae and decaying plant matter in that area, so I tore it all out, and used the good portions to replant the area. For more interest and colour to the left side I also “topped” the Rotala Blood Red SG on the right and planted the trimmings on the left, in front the R. OJ. Once it grows back out you have a nice transition from bright red/pink to orange.

Will update you next week and take better pics to show you what I mean. Lastly, due to the massive amount of plants removed, I decided not to trim any others to hopefully not offset the balance in the tank by removing too much bio load. Once the plants have recovered and are growing, it will be trimmed for shape.

Trimming session about to go down. All necessities in place.

I wonder what they are plotting.

Shrimp bros for life (and yes I know that both are female 🤣😂🤣😂).

Plant spotlight

Alternanthera Reineckii “mini”

Are you looking to add some texture and color to your aquarium? Alternanthera Reineckii "Mini" is the perfect plant for you!

This small, low-maintenance aquatic plant adds a beautiful bright green and pink hue to your tank, along with an interesting texture.

Alternanthera Reinecki "Mini" is a very hardy plant, making it a great choice for new aquascapers. It is easy to care for and can thrive in most aquariums. Moderate lighting and regular fertilization are recommended to keep this plant healthy and vibrant. The addition of CO2 will also be welcomed but it is not necessary.

When planting, make sure to give your Alternanthera Reinicki "Mini" enough space to grow. It tends to spread out as you prune the tops and sprouts offshoots for a dense bush which can take up a lot of space. This plant looks best when planted in small groups and is perfect for adding vertical interest and transitions from fore to mid-ground or mid to background depending on the size and design for the aquascape.

Alternanthera Reinickii "Mini' is an excellent choice for aquascapers who are looking to add a splash of color and texture to their tank. With its low-maintenance requirements and beautiful colors, this plant is sure to be a great addition to your aquarium.

“super gold” locally bred bristlenose pleco from in the 50g . Next time you go, see if you find them both.

Plant spotlight

Eriocaulon sp. Vietnam

This grasslike plant makes a lovely transition from fore to mid-ground or as a mid-ground in smaller tanks. It also makes lovely tufts when planted next to hard scape in small clumps.

This plant is propagated mainly by root bulb division meaning that you don’t have to deal with the issue of the plant running or creating off-shoots in places that destroy the integrity of the scape.

Of the “Erios” species Vietnam is considered one of the easiest to grow, requiring medium light and light co2 supplementation. Of course, increased light and co2 with adequate ferts will improve growth rate and plant health.

Apistogramma “Fire red”

No, the color isn’t enhanced and they are slightly stressed.

I absolutely love these fish and after being gifted a set by years ago, I had to get back a set so I was delighted when told me they had them available.

18/11/2022

Time for a little reflection.

Both the colors of the fish and plants pop drawing attention to the tank and calming the patients and staff of this top tier dental clinic.

Species Close Up #1

Alternanthera Reinickii ‘mini’.

Colorful red plant that is of beginner to medium difficulty. Can be used as a foreground or mid-ground plant and works extremely well as focal point against green backdrops.

The plant requires medium to high lighting and benefits greatly from the addition of CO2. In lower light and/or no CO2, the tops of the leaves turn olive green and the length between nodes elongates as the plant is reaching for light.

Given adequate light and CO2, when pruned frequently, it turns in to a thick bushy hedge of striking red and pink hues.

Price: $5 per stem or $24 per bunch.

This Bacopa flower is lovely. I think it may be time to start playing with some emergent growth.
