My 29g planted

[tigerbarb420]

Here is my 29g planted tank.. Inside I have 5 tiger barbs, 1 Golden Gourami, 2 Otocinclus, 2 Amano Shrimp(Awesome algae eaters/scavengers), and 1 African Dwarf Frog..... My tigerbarbs spawn almost biweekly but unfortunately I do not have a mating/growout tank for the fry.

As for the plants.. The tall one in the back is water sprite.... the smaller one underneath was sold to me as green wendtii crypt.. but I differ... I have seen pics of the green wendtii crypt and it looks totally different although it is definitely a crypt species. And the group of 3 plants on the right side of the tank were sold to me as Amazon Swords.. But i differ as well with these for the same reasons... they are definitely a type of sword tho. There is also a bunch of Java moss which has rooted into the driftwood at the top of the centerpeice(this seems to be the mating spot of choice for the tiger barbs)... and last but not least to the far right is a grass that is not a true aquatic plant.. the japanese variegated dwarf rush. I hope you enjoy!

Wow! Sweet tank tigerbarb. I added the pic above if thats okay.

How long has the tank been running?

Thanks! The tank has been running for approximately a year. The plants and current fish probly about 8 months. I am dying to change the substrate to a product called Seachem Flourite. It looks great, it's very benefitial to planted aquariums, and I have read nothing but good comments on it. The only downside is it is semi sharp and is not safe for fish w/ barbles such as cory cats and is not safe for diggers.
