Bro great effort but added glass shrimp may be a pain to remove completely after you are done with their work

I'm generally very wary of buying plants attached on wood, esp if i can't identify the plant type. First few times buying plants attached to wood, I encountered the plants attached to the DW by drilling holes into it and stuffing the whole plant in and then keeping it in position by silicon. Nowadays i only buy plants in loose form and only after i can confirm the ID of the plant. A lot of work, but it saves me heartache everytime i realise i got conned.

Thanks Bro Apistoinka for highlighting it to me. Yup, wanted to buy Blyxa Japonica but ended up buying this to try out. I believe this plant is a vivarium plant where the stems hits the water but the leaves remain in the air. Well, gonna test it out to see if i can survive in a tank.

I used mainly ferns, Java and Windelov tied to driftwood, then i stick the wood into the soil, exposing the rhizome of the ferns. Anuabia is already tied to the driftwood when i bought it. I will post an update when my fishes are ready to be in. may be doing some more scape if i can find the plants i want. the left side needs some smaller plant to replace the current setup to make it nicer.

Bingo is your name! Bought it from C328, spent hours looking through the many choices they have displayed.
