new plants

[Tener ds]

hi all,was thinking off getting 2 of these:
http://www.aquaessentials.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=4263

are these pleco safe? ie the plecs (L134,L081) wont eat them...

 

[L273]

the L134 'might' be fine in theory but the L081 being a baryancistrus sp. might try and have a go at the plant and others in general. then again bary's aren't the best things for planted tanks unless their fed veg 24/7 which you probably do anyway. hopefully.

changed my mine about those plants,so i added this bit of wood with 2 bits of java fern
tied to it.

its been in my water butt for ages,gave it a good wash before i added it.The shrimp are loving it and perry(L134) seams to be living off it since i added it to the tank.
also have a bit of bog wood that has some Windelov java fern (Microsorum pteropus 'Windelov') tied to it on the way,should look cool cos the bogwood has a sucker on the end
so it can be stuck to the glass,half way up the tank.

Hi all,
I think it looks really good as well, it is a good mix of plants. I also don't think the in-built internal filter matters, it is does a job, it's black and it really doesn't show up that much.

cheers Darrel

cheers darrel,
i did think about removing the filter and having an external one,but there is no room to put one.

I always go with the saying "if it ain't broke don't fix it" :thumbup:
