That's gorgeous Squall, as usual. :) How are you getting that Moss to grow so well? I'm having a hell of a time with mine.

Perhaps you can try java moss, they adept better to higher temp no more than 28.5

Nice looking tank.

:thumbsup:

I'm keeping java moss at temps no higher than 30ºC/86ºF with no problem. I'm thinking of making a moss wall, if I can find the right screening material.

April, when are you going to set up a planted tank? heh heh.

As for what I'm up to, I finally bought a new PC. I'll let you know more next time I'm on the chat. Still no trip to Singapore for me though. :-[

These fishes are use to warm water.
The temp had to be bring down slowly for them to adjust.
28 deg c to 25 in months not hours or days.
