More or less the finished product

Didn’t I say I had itchy fingers?

It’s barely past a week and I’ve already messed around with my new planted tank.

I’ve added:

  • a red lotus
  • two tiger lotus
  • an echinodorus with red markings on the leaves
  • two sheets of spiky moss

I’m really not sure about putting anything on the foreground. It actually seems nice empty. But the sheets of moss are easily removed.

As you know, yesterday, I put in 5 boraras into my new planted tank. Today, only 2 remain. I guess the tank isn’t ready for inhabitants yet.

Anyway, tonight, I closed all the blinds and took these pictures of the tank in complete darkness with one flash. It was hard to focus the camera in the dark, so forgive the less-than-sharp pictures.

This is the overall front view (ignore the yellow sponge):
