But hey, if you make it work that's fine. You have arranged them very nicely and it looks good overall...something I probably wouldn't accomplish so easily.

The rusty-colored stem is a stunted (most everything is stunted in this tank) stem of Ludwigia repens x arcuata. It's a very pretty plant (and easy-to-grow) one though. Thanks for the tip on the manzanita. I'll see if I have any branches that fit. You're right about the pond being a jungle. Then again, most of my tanks inside are looking a little overgrown -- it happens when it's nice outside! Thanks for the comments guys!

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 14:31:20 +0000 http://www.guitarfish.org/?p=812#comment-2620 What's the rusty-colored stem plant to the left? The scape will look better when that grows out, or if you plant another similar stem next to it ... also, I'd do something to break up the open space near the center - maybe a diagonally positioned branch of manazanita, covered with a little moss? I guess the challenge to that would be finding a manzanita branch small enough. This scape definitely has potential - as always, I'll look forward to what ever solution you come up with; you always manage to amaze! I enjoyed your last post as well ... with all of the meticulous (sp?), beautifully scaped tanks you've posted, I've often wondered: where is Kris's token jungle tank? Now I realize - it's in your back yard! Cheers, Mark What’s the rusty-colored stem plant to the left?
