Very nice tanks.

I think perhaps your C. cyanurus (alias chenggongensis) might like a setup similar to the other two, with deeper water. But the shallow-water plants you have growing are quite nice.

They will get a similar setup in the future, but I have three juveniles that still aren't adapted to water and are living on the land area. Once they go totally aquatic I'll raise the waterlevel and change the set up.

Hi Miriam, can I have that nice long tank of yours!? Very nice.

Wish I had room to expand.

What is the plant in the shallow tank? I like your use of water lettuce in the first two.

Nice tanks, what size is the one in the last pic.

IM IN LOVE

@ Joseph, the plant I used is Hydrocoytyle vulgaris, I don't know it's English name. It's a great plant that grows very fast both in water as on land.
@ Charles, the tank is one meter in length.

And thank you all for the compliments

Very nice setup I like the plants every where like that I might try that

Nice!

What's the round-leafed lily-pad looking plant in the left of the chenggongensis picture? That's really pretty!

 

[miriam]

It's a Hydrocoytyle vulgaris, I don't know it's English name.

 

[jennifer]

I think it's called water lettuce.

Water pennywort. Doesn't quiite seem to be the match though...unless this plant has variable leaf shape.

 

[miriam]

Well I was talking about the plant on the left of the chenggongensis tank, hydrocoytyle vulgaris and I think Jennifer is talking about the one on the right, that's water lettuce. Hence the confusion.
