Additional Information In this aquascape, i used dwarf sag to mimic an epiphytic birdsnest plant. Full effect is reached when their thick roots comes out plus the complimentary mixture of javamoss as well as riccia come into play. CO2 fertilization is about 2-3bps.
The nice balance of color and leaf shapes makes for a very satisfying viewing.
