Hello from Louisiana/Canada

[IanB]

Hi All,

My name is Ian and I am Canadian but currently living in Louisiana. I’m looking forward to participating in the conversations here. Right now I have two aquariums. The first is a high tech shallow planted tank with Celestial Pearl Danios, Dream Blue neocaridina shrimp, and clithon corona snails. (The lily pipes desperately need cleaning but that will have to wait until tomorrow.) The second is a 3 foot low tech bookshelf tank that currently has a bunch of Anubias and some clithon snails but will soon be home to a pair of apistogramma mcmasteri and six Honey Gourami.

Love the wood breaking the surface. Very tasteful setups.

What beautiful slices of nature, what type of plant did you mainly use on the driftwood in the first tank?

[IanB]

There is some farmed buce on the wood but mostly spiky moss. The carpet below is dwarf hairgrass and marsilea crenata and the plants to the right include staurogyne reopens, ar mini, and dwarf baby tears. The plants that are starting to grow emersed are hygrophila pinnatifida and rotala h’ra.

Oh just realized I misread the comment to be the other tank! In the driftwood looking one it is almost all Anubias species (coffeefolia, nana petite, golden, thick leaf, and nana paxing). The coop has great petite, golden, and coffeefolia. The rest is a bit rarer and I had to get off aquabid and other places.
