Bhushan I can't make out the two staurogyne species in the tank.
Any close up pics ?
|
Sorry for the late pics
Staurogyne stolonifera
Staurogyne sp "Low Grow"
This one is the third species of Staurogyne. The one from Tropica probably.

Thanks Bhushan.
They are pretty dark green. I'll have to find a space for them in my tank. |

Here are the set up pictures of the aquascape.
The Aquasoil from the old scape was reused. This is the third scape with the same soil.
The hardscape.
The scape just after planting and filling water.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Madan, the emersed growth is dark green. But the submerged leaves of all the three species are bright green with the stem remaining reddish brown. |

| Nice placement of driftwood and rocks. The end result has justified your effort. Keep coming up with more scapes likes these. |

Wow! That's a ultimate setup.
No one can say it's just a 10 gallon tank. Way to go. |

Bhushan, many many thanks for posting the initial setup stages. I always get confused after seeing the final output that how I should go about the plantation. You made my day buddy!!

Just awE inspiring stuff boss!!
Too good. Gorgeous colours... indeed spring like.
Just a doubt - did you have such a scape in mind before starting, or it just grew out to be a better beauty?
somehow I like to go to the 1st page again and again
Thankyou. |

Sai, thanks for appreciating it. Yes, I have put in quite a bit of thought in planning this scape. You have to visualize the position and the growth pattern of each plant in the aquascape. You have to visualize how you want the tank to look say 4 months from the set up date and carefully select the plant species( it’s very important to know the growth patterns of the plants you are using). Having all these things in mind you have to follow a disciplined trimming routine to shape the plants in to bushes and mounds. There are always small changes involved due to plant availability.
And this scape is still not looking like I had visualized it. But yes, it's on a right track. |
