Number 3 is I think my favorite tank ever! Good thing I'm starting a new tank tonight! I know what it's going to look like.
Any chance you could let us know what plants are in there?
LOVE IT!
Thanks for the kudos, everybody! Appreciate it.
Oneshot, I wish I could but while I love getting a large variety of plants, I'm afraid I'm not much for plant ID. Basically, I purchase what I know works in Vivs, and I try to beg, borrow, trade, for plants I see in others vivs. Whenever I am in a greenhouse, I tell them what I am doing and ask for their recommendations on what to try. Sometimes they work out great, and other times, not so much. I'll try to ID a few for you but some of my names will just be "slang" or a nickname so to speak. These are all from tank 3. In pic 2 on the cork bark ledges is an assortment of mini orchids. In pic 3, in the far back left corner is a freaky tall growing plant. It's actually Ginger! To the right, the big oval leaves with the radiating pink/red thin stripes is Prayer Plant or Calathea. That's one of my "go to" plants as I love it and my thumbs love to lay eggs on it. The vines with the tiny round kind of thick leaves is Pepperomia Prostrata. I got a huge pot of it for 99 cents as it had root rot! Made a bunch of cuttings and it's doing fine! Two or three different kinds of dischidia vines. A bromeliad that is too narrow leafed for egg laying as I don't want any mystery tad deposits to turn off breeding. Still in pic 3 on the bottom left is another orchid I was given. My orchid loving friend knows what it is but I forgot already. Some creeping Oak Leaf Fig is visible in pic 3 and 4. Pic 4 bottom right is a Pothos with metallic silver spots. Slow growing but cool. To the left of that is a Lemon Button Fern (another fave). Further left, the wrinkly leaf is some sort of Pilea? First time trying it. Far right bottom corner...No Idea but man do I love it! Hey! Not too bad. Got at least a rough id on most of it! Oh yeah, and then three or four different mosses about. The yellow looking sphag WAS live green sphag but it did NOT like the bleach treatment! Hoping it will come back. Then there is a little branch of ghost wood on the right. I have another box of ghost wood coming in and I may put another piece in.
Glad you like it but here is perhaps my favorite Viv that I've done. It is for my Cayo Nancys. It is another of my slope fronts but it is twice the size at 24" x 24" x 24". Made it bigger to raise up those Pum babies!
