i'm trying new plants and see if they do well in discus temps

Looks awesome Again

Looks great!!

looking good!

boy in the pic is so cute! he's going to be a heartbreaker LOL

thank you all.
for now that kid is a pain in the neck first lol.

he loves helping me pick out the duckweed and when im making plant packages
or cleaning the filters or feeding.

i envy your blxya, really nice tank. I just ordered 10 stems, so i'll see how they do in a low light setup with diy co2. You dosing any ferts?

Looking nice

thanks.
i dose dry powder ferts.
i spend 20 bucks on ferts and it lasts me a year.
good stuff!

finally the blxya is doing good.
i could never figure out why it was never taking off.
one day i notice an old SAE nibbling on all the new leaves.
out he went to my friends tank.
then it was my young angels, out they went too. they were soo pretty too.

i hoping i can find some kribs to add, but there not popular here anymore. or rams.
any other ideas to add to the tank?

i just got about 15 stems of blxya in the mail, and they are not in good shape, most of it is yellowing, i dose micros, but i may have to step it up and start dosing macros too. Where you get your dry ferts? and are you running co2?

Very nice tank,hey I have a couple of those fingerprint specialist myself.

Sometimes you just wanna but you can b/c they are so cute

there lucky there my kids.
the banker
http://www.greenleafaquariums.com/ is where i buy my dry ferts from.
very fast shipping.
im running pressurized co2 atm.
lights, co2 soleniod and powerhead are on a timer.
the less work for me i love it;-P

where did you purchase your blxya from?
whenever i bought plants from a distributor, the plants were never really nice.
my blxya hates to be moved.

i just started to see some really nice growth from my blxya auberti sp.
same plant just huge in size.

next time your interested in buying plants, pm me.
i have some awsome stems for your tank

thanks i'll hit you up when i want some plants, i actually brought the plants from someone off another forum. The blxya did look like it was making a good recovery, but i didn't even realize they got uprooted and alot of the leaves are melting now. I might just keep them tucked away in the corner under the co2 diffuser and see what happens.
