Got some nice plants in the post today:)

Post by Vandraco aka Bronzecat on Thu Oct 08, 2009 1:01 pm

Ordered some nice plants from Daz (dp fishways) on Tuesday evening and they arrived today :D

Got some Amazon Swords x 5, Vallis (corkscrew variety) & an Eriocaulon cinereum plant (small foreground plant).

Probably more Swords to bulk out the back. Then some java fern, more vallis and some more foreground plants like the one i got from Daz. I'll then see what catches my eye really :D

Glad you like them! The Eriocaulon cinereum is planted too deep though Van, raise it so the base of the plant is level with the gravel.
