    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    It is very pretty, I really like FW planted tanks. They are every bit as pretty as SW in my opinion and seem to be getting very high tech with all the additives, CO2 and such. I love all the FW plants that are available to FW. Much harder to keep SW macro algae alive.

    Man it has been awhile since I have kept a fw planted tank. Got to carried away with sw. I really like the swords in the first tank and is that elodea (anachris) I see? Or cabomba maybe? (In the first tank)

    Actually not sure on the names of the plants other than the amazon swords. I set up my 15g to separate the tetras from the livebearers. They weren't harassing them but the tank will quickly become overcrowded with babies.
