It has been a while since I have posted any updates. I think it is time for one

This was created immediately after my "Escape" protect was retired, so no planning, just improvisation on the go. Same root, different perspective.
Quickly about the tank:
60x40x40cm
90 L
filtration: plenty
Co2: still bubbling
light: Ada Aquasky 602, acrylic stand stored away, light raised twice as high
Plants: Micranthemum, Various Bucephalandra
Fish: 1x Dwarf puffer, about 20 Cardinal Tetra
Inverts: Snails, Some shrimp, some blue, some red
And few photos below:
Canvas,
Started, June
August,
October,
Thanks for reading (:
I am planted!

The plant is Micranthemum or so-called Montecarlo

Interesting, is it aquatic and terrestrial like the Helxine? I know people used to use the Helxine on aquarium floors, it looks very similar.

Great tank as we usually expect from you. I am going to try and setup something like this with shrimp in it. It will only be like it as I just can’t get to your standard!!
So is it possible that next time you trim the MC you can send me a bit. I love the way it looks like it’s a tree on the roots.
Once again, lovely tank
