I planted my kuhli tank today. :) i can't beleive how happy they are. I also added 4 new babies, that makes a total of 12. That sounds like a good size group to me. I've got water sprite, java moss, java fern and several marino(sp?) balls. they are so cool. there's 2 small, 2 med, and 1 lg. one is starting to form bubbles already, i can't wait to see what's gonna happen. the fish are laying in the water sprite. i hope it lives, it was an unexpected buy, and was sold to me as a floater, but i planted it into the gravel, for now. i need to read up on it still. You should have seen the look on my hubbies face when i came home. :shock: i told him i was going to get A plant. :twisted: pics will fallow soon :wink:

hey all....pics as promised, some are not the best quality, but i'm still learning how to work my camera. the smaller kuhli's were all hiding, but i'll try to get some of them later on.

as for the plants they were pretty beat up. bf suggested taking the backgrownd off so they can get some indirect sun light. the sun never actually shines in that window, but it is a lot brighter in there now. the tank used to be packed with plastic plants, it looks kindof empty now...lol..how long do you think it will take for it to grow in a bit?

With a bit of liquid ferts, not too long at all!
