What's you're grass like plant in the front left? I'm looking for something along those lines, and my microswords aren't doing too well...

Wolfgang8810

that is dwarf hairgrass, it needs alot of light. I have 50 watts over that tank and (5wpg) homemade CO2, But even before Co2 it was happy. The answer to your question is Dwarf hairgrass. I like it alot. I give it haircuts everyother month and it looks like a lawn lol.

I really like your tank...I think a black background would look great.

Wolfgang8810

yup getting a bachground tomorrow :-)

Where did you get that dwarf hairgrass? Is it fairly soft?

Wolfgang8810

its really soft i got it at one of my LFS's it was half dead so i got the pot for a dollar

slakey

i have some dwarf hairgrass I think... has some algae on the tips but still good stuff

COBettaCouple

Nice deal and looks like you've got it into great shape. I'll have to look for that at the LFSs here.

Wolfgang8810

if you cant find any ill send you out some.

I just bought some dwarf hairgrass. I hope mine stays alive pretty well. It is going in the paludarium.

Your tank looks great so far! Fish would look good in it. Just some small tetras I think or barbs.

Sorry to be but can you give me a detailed instruction on how to make a DIY CO2 system such as yours. I have been looking for one but I can't find it. Thanks in advance.

COBettaCouple

Thanks. I'll let you know. Hopefully the LFS we found out about will have some, but who knows when we'll get time to go down there.

Coryd55

They have like 6 dwarf hairgrasses at the LFS I went to. So if you cant find any and wolfgang can't get you any I can hook you up with some =) lol

COBettaCouple

We could put them all in a tank, along with a little lawnmower for our betta to keep his lawn with.

Thanks, I appreciate the offers.

slakey

what'd be really cool would be for a 3 foot long be 1 foot wide by 1 foot tall bottom all dwarf harigrass and then some endlers

Wolfgang8810

lol it would be super easy to vaccuum the gravel lol I got my background today. pictures up later

COBettaCouple

Well, we went to Pet World this morning and didn't find any of the grass.

Wolfgang8810

that sucks ill send you some if you want.

COBettaCouple

I really appreciate that and I'll take you up on that offer as soon as we get the next upgrade tank for our Betta Sweetie. We went to -5 last night, so I'll probably wait a little bit until I start getting things shipped in.

Wolfgang8810

ok sounds good PM me your ADDY when you are ready.


Got my background up here are some pics of my tank now that i figgures out how to set the white ballance.

COBettaCouple

It really looks so natural, I love it!

Wolfgang8810

there really isnt a fake thing in there besides the filter and co2 pump

GreenMan13

Looks great!

Whats the green hair ball looking thing on the left?

Wolfgang8810

its a marimo ball. Or an algae ball take your pick. They sell for 25 bucks at stores around here so i ordered mine from malaysa and got it for 7 dollars free shipping/
