Plants: Pearlweed(foreground), Ludwigia repens, rotala h’ra, and rotala macrandra Here is my long 5 gallon!

ADMWNDSR83 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Wow! I'm loving the scaping of the top picture! How many separate plants originally got planted in there, and what kind? I feel like my betta and shrimp tank would benefit greatly from a couple of those! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, I started off with 4 different plants and not a whole lot! I’ve just been trimming and replanting them. I just edited my post so it has the plants and what’s in the tank! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how tall it’s gotten! I’m sure it can reach all the way to the top, but I trim it so it stays short 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
