Diana Walstad's Experimental Tank Part 3

Here are some photos of my Diana Walstad's experimental tank. Thanks to fellow members of MAC (Malaysian Aquascaping Club) forum such as Ngiam (90% of the plants and all the Platies), Alfred (Endlers and Water Wisteria) and Edmund (Crypt) for sponsoring majority of the fauna and flora. There are more unknown plants supplied by Ngiam which I have not identified.

The list of fauna:
1. Platies
2. Endlers
3. 1 lonely Black Molly fry

The list of flora:
1.Glosso
2. Limnophila aromatica
3. Hornwort
4. Marsilea
5. Narrow Leaf Fern
6. Tiny Bolbitis
7. Philippines Fern
8. Cryptocoryne Affinis
9. Vallisneria Nana
10. Didiplis diandra?
11. Lobelia cardinalis?
12. Blyxa
13. Duckweed (not purposely added)
14. Rotala Indica
15. Bits of Water Wisteria
16. Unknown Moss (looks like Christmas or Java Moss)

Hey! tank's looking good! :P Any ideas where I could get my hands on some glosso? Have u seen any shops selling? Most that i've gone to, these days either sold out or won't sell 'em, cause they're running low themselves!!

Try posting in MAC (Malaysian Aquascaping Club) forum. You may be able to get a good deal there. If you're lucky someone may throw some to you free of charge.
