Someone asked what kind of grass that is. It is "narrow leaf micro sword." lilaeopsis mauritius. I grows faster with less light than regular micro sword. I'm hoping it will fill in that whole area soon! |

Don't rush if you are new to big tanks. I wish I would have browsed fish a bit more before starting. I am using up space I would rather be using on different fish. |
