Looking good. That wood looks like something I saw while in a LFS in Halifax. Is it something you collected or purchased? I like the look of that. Looks much lighter than mopani and has nice branches.

I like it! I saw some pieces that were similar. I don't think I've seen that type before.

Update !!! Added crypt undulata along back of the tank and added more java fern to front left. Also trimmed back the old leaves on the java fern I have attached to the driftwood as they look ruff once they get old, and added a small Bolbitis Heudelotii plant (African Water Fern) to the drift wood, but hard to see in the pic. The plant portion I bought was small and will take time to fill out. |

Added the last of the plants for this tank. A little bit more crypt parva in foreground and java fern on driftwood. Then added finishing touches of a few more stones. btw this is my tiger platy tank. There is male and 2 females and about 15 fry currently and also some pygmy corys. Attachments:

You have nicely planted tanks Mr. guppyguy! I think you have had some spare time to juice these tanks up a bit!  |

Yes thank you J. As any planted tank lover here knows. There is enough maintenance to them and keeping them beautiful. But I love making planted tanks. |
