2hr Aquarist 2ft Planted Aquarium showcase

In this aquarium I wanted to showcase Anubias, Bucephalandra and Java fern planted on the substrate as shorter mid/foreground plants.

Java fern 'orange narrow' turned out to be the show stealer in this scape, though it took a while to grow in. Some other interesting species - Lobelia feayana, a newly collected species is used as a foreground carpet (thanks to James/Chantz for passing the plant around). Anubias mini coin provides nice deep green tones that contrast against lighter green Lysimachia nummularia 'aurea' .
