Added some new plants! Polygonum 'Sao Paulo' and Cabomba Furcata.. The Polygonum still has to grow in quite a bit, but I plant to pull some others from the right side as it fills in.

Pictured is the Cabomba.

nice pics. I cannot get either of your new plant additions to survive in my tank. I don't have enough light, and I think the high ph here may also have something to do with it. Can't wait to see it when it fills in.

Here's another shot of my 20g High. I took out most of the stems plants and fast growing so that it will be a little bit on a low maintenance tank. The only stem plants left are Polygonum Sao paolo (the red plant) and Rotala wallichii. Ignore the plants on top as those are going to the compost. Also added additional stones.

It seems I can't either, Sad Well both are still living, but just barely. The cabomba furcata keeps falling apart till its just bits of floating pink leaves all over and stems left in the substrate. It comes back with new shoots from under the ground though, every time. Only to do the same again.
The Sao Paulo always looks great at it's tips, but I have to keep cutting the tips off and then replanting. The lower leaves just get all melty and black. C'est la vie!

Great tank Alasse. A special feeling for crypts? Is the plant in the center of the second shot cryptocoryne moehlmannii or a amazon sword?

^Agreed! Love the crypts & the driftwood setup. Also like the various substrate selection.

Get your facts first! Then you can distort them as you please.You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way & the only way, it does not exist.

Essabee ~ Love Crypts, and they do well in low light tanks, which is a bonus for me. The large plants in the centre are Swords

ShieldWolf ~ Thank you Smiley

Substrate ~ 
5ft - Laterite/Dino Dung topped with plain black gravel
3ft - JBL Aquabasis topped with plain black gravel
28L - plain red gravel
