    You're correct about the Echinodoras Palifolius... the leaves will comfortably exceed 2 feet in height! and are quite comfortable out of water. I have the same plant - 2 foot focal specimen plant - in a shallow tank (the tank is only 7 inches high). The effect is quite striking.
    The rootstock is emmense: it has spread across the majority of the substate base, providing the energy throw up a new leaf every 3 weeks or so.
    It is a plant well suited to open-top aquariums... But the same plant is a total waste in a closed top aquarium: the leaves quickly shoot up into the hood and get dried out and scorched by the lights; all you see in the aquarium are a bunch of leaf stems and the occasional leaf, as it races for the surface...
    Plant one behind a specimen amazon sword in an open top aquarium and the result is impressive when the leaves emerge from the surface and power over the amazon sword!

    Plus, those fish are so damn cute!

    Beautifull tank for young Acaras.
    What i love about your setups is that you value the needs of your fish over aesthetics.
    What i found funny was that you had doubts about the moss cause it wasnt from that Area.
    But at that point you allready had 2 Asian Stemplants in, the Limnophila and the Hygrophila.😉👌
    And Some websites claim that Christmass moss is found in Brasil.
    But others say its also Asian.
    So i dont know. 🤔
    But very nice setup.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    Nice build, I like the fact that your slowly tip-toein' into new waters..., such as SA Dwarf Cichlids, African Lake Cichlids & So-On...& away from your comfort zone of common SA/CA/MEXICO Community Tropical Species (Platy, Molli, Guppy, Tetras & Cory/Pleco Catfishes) or that of Eastern Hemisphere which commonly your Asian/Asian Isles Tropical Community Species (Barbs, Rasboras, Betta & Gourami). Branching out to new, bigger & better less commonly bred or sold fishes will turn this channel up yet another notch.....Dare I Say Predator Community or Species tank(s) in your immediate future, Hope So!!! Now a days so many feed options that's it's almost pointless feeding live anymore, I'd say even less beneficial than readily available frozen/freeze dried options...in case live feedings were a deterant from going bigger via future builds...GDLK.
