Post by jasminek on Sat Dec 19, 2009 3:43 pm

Hi all.
On thursday I bought 15 plants for the girls tank. 12 cambomba and 3 of these other tall stemed plants. Pics don't do it justice, but here they are:

Also I got all these plants as i ordered 2 lights off ebay, making the light wattage altogether 22W. Hopefully this is enough! Smile

Yep...you can get twisted vallis too that grows tall. Even though some silk plants look great, there's nothing better than a planted tank. Won't be long before they get really tall [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Yep! think it's got something to do with me now having 22w light. But they shoot up and grow more every day. Pics to come, it's just my cameras being charged overnight for pics of my new goldfish tank tomorrow! Smile
