Madagascar lace plants in a 10G tank. You're nuts!

They are just seedlings, they won't get big for another year, but thanks for your constructive critique. <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley18.gif" border="0"> <edited><editID>SCMurphy</editID><editDate>37949.6402662037</editDate></edited>

Yeah Im usually pretty blunt - but let me give
it another shot.

The Ludwigia arcuata is getting quite dense and
is in need of a trimming. It may do better restricted
to the back with a peice of driftwood or rock...

Actually..instead of me explaining everything,
here's some inspiration...

You're halfway there. Get rid of the lace plants.
Add 2-3 inches of substrate to the back right side to give it some depth. Add a rock / dwood to hold the ludwigia back and plant some pearlweed infront of it
with the ranalisma infront of that.<edited><editID>Ghazanfar Ghori</editID><editDate>37949.6481018519</editDate></edited>

Or is this sprouting and nursery for the lace plants? In which case keep it up until they are ready to come in for the mini-auctions... <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley32.gif" border="0">

I think you might be confusing the Didiplis diandra which is planted on the side with the Ludwigia arcuata which is restricted to the back behind the Eleocharis acicularis and Cryptocoryne lutea wall. The DD is actually growing in a a nice granient from green in the front to red in the back where it is inspired by the Ludwigia. The RR is infront, and pearlweed is "crap" and will never be allowed in my tanks. <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0"> I'll fix the pic later so you can see and be jealous of the "C. petchii" bronze which is growing in the front left corner.

The lace plants are from seeds I toss in the tank Robert. <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley16.gif" border="0"> <edited><editID>SCMurphy</editID><editDate>37951.5713078704</editDate></edited>

see the plants

Did you ever tell anyone what you did to that madagascar lace plant seedling I gave you? No wait, I gave you two of them. <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley11.gif" border="0">

You're never going to let that go are you?

I guess I should tell you the truth about them.
Take your pick...
I had to donate them to a needy family.
I felt bad and so I set them free!
One morning I woke up and they were gone!
My fish ate them.
My dog ate them.
I ate them.
Someone broke into my house and stole them!
Sometimes God takes good plants away to live with Him in heaven.
They eloped with the hornwort.
I had an algae outbreak and they didn't make it.
