The Rostrata look like Botia gothitbyatrainica but I just got them yesterday...

Looks good. Your planned additions will make it even nicer. That piece of wood on the right with the Anubias is lovely.

Thanks I dun growed it maself

I bought the mother plant @ Menagerie, but that whole chunk there is what I grew. I cut half the plant off and threw it away.

I SUCKKKK with plants. I have no clue what the deal is with this one honestly... I bought it and its wooden friend around about June-ish. The amount of growth it's produced would even have been respectable under Co2 injection and PC light... Its shot out TWO new leaves since I changed my gravel (they're still tiny but like... its anubias)

It shoots a leaf out every ten days without fail. Always dark green always perfect.... Then the plecos slice it up with their gigantic barbly mouths... but they're too cute so I forgive them... It'd be nice if I saw them... but I forgive them...

IME with vine type plants both land and water you can add a lot of lifespan to it by cutting away the old growth...

OH Martin I guess you're the guy to ask, are loaches ok with co2 injection? I know the proponderance of free radical carbon isn't good for the hemoglobin of some high oxygen fish...

OH and the gravel I have now, is fine enough yes? Its fine enough that the corys can easily and effortlessly dig through it. THe pieces are about 2 or 3 mm
