|  6 gal planted Eclipse Tank was started 11/04. Tank is amazingly low maintainance compared to my other 2, so i tend to enjoy this one the best (no algae headaches.)  Tank is all original system 6 kit. Comments welcome.   |

| This is probably thee best 6gallon planted tank I've ever seen. Do you trim the swords to keep them from poking out of the top? Also, I relaly like the plant you have in the front that has the runners along the glass. What is the name of that plant?

| Thanks for the comments.  Quote:
The swords don't seem to want to grow tall. Once the tip of the leaf touches the surface of the water it seems to stop growing. The problem i have with the swords getting to big is that they get wider as the leaves grow in. So i just trim a couple of leaves to thin out the plant every other week. The plant in the front are pygmy chain swords. Originally started with 3 small original plants. Once they settled in, they just took off sending runners all the way around the front and back of the tank. Very nice low light foreground plant.  Here is a pic of the three original plants when they started to send out their runners...  My pygmy corys loves to rest on them...  Last edited by supapoopa; 03-28-2005 at 04:14 PM. | |

| Location to purchase the Pygmy Swords Hi Supapoopa, Beautiful tank btw! I just got an Eclipse 6, and it's pretty bare. I wish for it to look more similar to yours. I'm from the bay area as well, Milpitas, to be specific. Where did you purchase the Pygmy Chain Swords? Also, is there an aquarium shop you recommend in the area? What kind of substrate are you using? Is it plain gravel? Thanks in advance. Jonathan |

| Still looking good. Do your pygmy cories like to go in the driftwood?
