Yes, not sure why it's growing slowly, but stuff tends to grow rather slowly for me, so I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised. I'm trying to balance the amount of light so the tank isn't crowded with algae but the plants still have adequate light. Unfortunately, my work schedule often has me staying rather late... I suppose it would be most prudent of me to get a timer, so that I could have my lights on at night when I am home and so I can see the tank.

However, no cardinals - I suspect cardinals would be the death of my shrimplets, since they're so big. Sticking with the green neons. I feel good that the fish are smaller than the shrimp.

hm - maybe the carpet is growing slower because the driftwood/java fern/java moss scape is hogging the light? idk. but still looks great, and i bet the shrimp love it!

This is a really cool idea! I love all the progress shots. Have any new ones?
