I am curious if this is mainly a breeder BBS since I see mostly see empty tanks. Anyway here is my planted tank.

That is really cool Beth. I have never seen anything like that. I really like your fish and hope mine look half that good when they get bigger.

That large piece of driftwood would look sweet with some Rica attached to it.

Hi guys.

This is my first attemp. It's a semi-planted 77 gal tank.

This is a 100 planted from a friend, there are only two discus in there, believe me ;)

Here they are LOL.

Siddique,

Anubias, java moss, java moss, and bolbitis, ALL grow on surfaces naturally. All you need to do is tie them down or wedge them in, and after a month or so, they will start growing on the surface - like ivy.

Here are a couple of articles for you:
