Re: have you ever stopped to think about your tank?

I genuinely like the look of this tank, and I'd be hesitant to remove the foreground plant just yet. The subtle colour accents it provides are a nice touch. Adding one or two more similar accents could enhance the overall appearance, but I wouldn't overdo it. The current setup has a very natural ...

Re: Need to know the Discus Strain Name

In my honest opinion, we could label them as pigeon blood, peppered pigeon blood, or non pigeon blood with a blue base. Or, if you'd like, we could go with something a bit more personable - like Pete, Susie, Sandra, and Sam, or even Blake. On a more serious ...

Re: Comparing christmas moss and java moss

Imagine the fronds of Christmas Moss as a flattened Christmas tree shape - that's the best way to describe it. Tropica has a great explanation on their site. I'm keen to give it a go, but from what I've read, it grows slower than Java Moss. Check out the second row, first plant - that's where you'll ...
