Excellent  ....the mosses look really healthy...one thought If its a moss Tank you could loose the other plants like HM and Blyxa...But Sir When did you get those RCS ?..Is this a RCS Only Tank..?... Thank you for the plants you sent me...E tennulus is really doing well with 5-6 new plants and java moss seems O.K. |

At present, tank contains only RCS but within few days, I will add 3 pairs of Otocinclus affinis.
HM and Blyxa both plants going well. |

Keeping temp down in Delhi is not a problem most of the summer as the weather is dry. After mid of April, we need fans to keep the temp in check.
But after August, due to high humid, fans will fail. |
