Project Details

A planted nano tank to house a single Betta fish and accentuate living room space. 4 individual pieces of Manzanita Wood twigs were pre-boiled and soaked to prevent leeching of tannins. A total of 9 different species of aquatic plants were chosen for this aquascape. Alteranthera Reineckii “Mini” along with Ludwig Repens “Super Red” stem plants were strategically planted in the mid and background for a touch of red in the tank to compliment the vibrant colors of the Betta. Only tissue culture plants were used for this to ensure absolute health from initial start up.
