Mermaid Weed
Rotala sp
Petite nana

Nice setup.

I'm also looking at putting up a moss wall. What type of moss did you use? Could I get it at C328?

What are those plants on the right that you have planted on the soil?

Thanks for sharing.

i use spiky(top) and x'mas(bottom) moss on the moss wall, i bought it in C328 this week. There are many other type in plastic bags but fast selling...

which plant on the right you mean? for those at the back i only know the chinese name like 'net plant', 'little wave' plant, haha...

Most of the plants are settling well in the tank. White spots are seen on moss and fissiden. New leaves started to grow on plants.

except x'mas moss still quite, no white spots on the tips yet but it still green, anybody know why ?
