Very tiny baby shrimp. Only a few mm. Hard to photograph! On some micranthemum micranthemoides and on the right some monte carlo leaves.

Oui. Sorry for the answer in french...

Alors oui, et oui. C'est magnifique. Nous aimerions plus de partages de ce type de nos amis francophones.

Mais cela va peut-être venir avec les résultats du CAPA.

Faithfully,

Day 27
Some GDA on the rocks using quite some light in this scape. But I like it, gives a natural feeling. Still a way to go to get the moss in shape and stems above the rocks in the back.

Sympa ! Why the hell do you have so many cigs without tobacco?   
Good luck for the contest!
Maybe it's too early, but what about the mixture yogurt/moss? Effective or just fun to assess?

Haha very cheap empty cig filters 200 for €2.

Thanks!

Works very good yoghurt method! This is my 3th scape with it now. I like it!

Room shot of the 40cm mountain scape (dry start) for Aquaflora Vivarium contest. Added a desk lamp to make sure everywhere will reach light. Also with more light I hope mosses will attach faster. Spraying twice a day with RO water to prevent buildup of lime on the glass. Two small openings for ventilation to prevent mold.

14 days in dry start now. One week before flooding! I will add dhg mini, rotala wallichi, hemianthus micranthemoides to the scape right before flooding. When tank is stable/cycled I will add some HC and buce mini coin.

Strange thing is for my eye it looks more rocks are covered in moss since 14 days of dry start! But when comparing photos it even looks like some moss has fallen off due spraying the tank daily. Weird haha!

Thanks for the tutorial, I'll have to try this with my next scape.
