The plants are Riccia sp. "dwarf" and Eleocharis acicularis. I got them from Tropica, Denmark.

Thanks.

I change 50% water every other day and add 1ml Tropica Nutrition+ Liquid. There is also pressurized CO2 injection.

If you search youtube for "Practical Fishkeeping nano", you'll see the complete set up running.

Cheers,

Well done for maintaining such a challenging aquarium in such a fine looking way, your choice of what to put in must be very limited. I can only think of neons, harlequins and those tiny bottom feeders as candidates for such a small space.

@gf225 nice plants, nice iwagumi style.

what brand tank is this? and what co2 system are you using? and what is the gravel?

This is absolutely beautiful.

I plan to aquascape a 10 gallon breeding tank for Celestial Pearl Danios. The idea is to use a small school of just 5 fish max, probably only 3 (1 male and 2 female), from as many different bloodlines as I can find and use Java Moss (I know that's a must), some form of carpet greenery to hide eggs, and floating plants for fry to hide in. What carpet growth do you recommend that doesn't need CO2 or EXTREME Halogen lighting like I'm trying to grow a mini lily?

@gf225 Its a bit on the tiny size for fish, why not those little mini tropical shrimp? Its perfect for a couple of them shrimp you know. It does look nice with the plants and all, I give you that for sure. Was this to show what can be done with the tank or are you really keeping those fish in there? I mean, you have to change 50% of the water every other day due to the fish ;)

@KucingKayap no co2 or maybe not enough of it... also if there is not enough light....

@shinigamijesi im not sure about seizures but i know for a fact fish can drown. :)

What gravel do you have? How much money did you spend on the hair grass, also does it grow fast? Do they need the C02? Is there a way to make one because they're really expensive? I have live plants in my tank at the moment, but that's stunning. My tanks 16 gallons, how much would it cost to fill it with the hair grass and dwarf riccia, do you need certain lighting also, can you give some basic stuff on how to look after those plants.
