I do like Anubias, got a few nana in the one tank along with Bucephalandra & 2 java ferns. It's how far down the line of biosphere I want to go in terms of only Amazonian species though, won't be doing it for a specific river, just regional. That's where the epiphytes get difficult because they seem to be either African or AsianFishBubs wrote: ↑Thu Sep 12, 2024 11:39 am In my south american tank, i only have epiphytes. Java fern, anubia of different varieties, Microsorum pteropus 'Trident' , but my favourites have to be the buccephalandras which are currently all blooming their lovely small white flowers . I dont use ferts nor co2 they just soak up nutrients that are in the tank and are doing great

I think I'll bin off being too specific with the planting. & won't be using CO2 either. I'll add a bit of leaf zone as and when I remember.
This is the tank at the moment (no fish).Echinodorus Parvoflorus, Alternanthera Rosaefolia, Helanthium Quadricostatus & Tenellum Green, Staurogyne Repens. Thinking of adding a few floaters to bring the light level down a bit without being a lot of trimming work.
And yes the one cobble is doing some buoyancy control for a bit
