There's some epic planted tanks but can't take pics due to the reflections. :(

Red guy is a Flame Hawk btw. :) Red guy with black stripe above the yellow tang in the first pic! He's pretty funny.

Glad you guys like the pics. :)

You couldn't have asked that while I was still at work, Razzi?! LOL

I know some, others I'd have to double check with plant guy to be sure and others I've totally forgotten. :blush: Like the potted plant in the foreground. I'll see what I can come up with later.. I just got a new expensive toy for the marine tank to play with (which begs the question, WHY am I on aus aqua?!).

The tank has changed 3 times since I took that pic, hah!

I can help a bit with this.

Front plant in pot- pogo helferi

The one behind the pogo- some sort of louts, possibly tri-colour? (red, green and black) can't see any black but it has the same patterening.

Foreground to the left of the pogo is staurogyne repens, fantastic low light plant that can be grown as a bush or carpet. Not as fast as other carpeting plants so a lot less work.

Behind the diffusor is Blyxa japonica.

Behind that is needle leaf java fern.

Right of the needle leaf is hydrocotyle tripartita

Right of teh pot of pogo under the stems it looks like some tropica java fern.

I don't know the rest other than that I think they belong to the genuses ludwigea and rotala. was that of help?

Yes that's tri-colour lotus.

Also behind the pot and the staruogyne is what I believe is hottonia palustris.

Behind THAT, the larger stem plant is what I think is Ludwigia Brevipes.

Right of the pot was windolov.

Rear and center is Heteranthera Zosterifolia.

I'm not sure what the red stem plant in the rear right hand corner is. I never liked it. LOL

Floating plant is amazon frogbit.

"What's the stem plant to the left of the needle leaf and behind a bit?"

Pretty sure that's more Heteranthera Zosterifolia trimmed shorter.

None of these are actually mine just display tanks from work. :) I wish I could take credit though!

Think I stood in front of that first tank drooling for about 10mins today.... so pretty..

Oh, can I make a suggestion for this lovely LFS?

Could you *please* put the wilds on a lower shelf?

I can't see them too well with them all high up, I was on my tippy toes jumping up and down for a better view. :blush:

Got a few funny looks from the staff, but hey.. they are NICE! :P

Height difficulties? Also... in the same sentence?

Doesn't seem right that! *lol*

I was close to grabbing the ladder from underneath one of the guys working there... but he seemed to need it, what with standing on it and all. So I just jumped up & down. *lol*

Lmao, ok ok, my bad.

Most of us end up standing on our toes to get a decent look into those tanks. I have no idea who thought it would be a good idea to build them that tall! Also the WORST tanks to catch fish out of, ugh.

Pssh, shoulda just told them to go feed some fish, you need the ladder! LOL
