Little Mulgrave

[fishmosy]

These are some shots from Little Mulgrave, a tributary of the Mulgrave River (near Cairns Australia). Enjoy.

Water parameters were:

pH 7.0 - 7.1

GH: < 20 ppm

KH: < 20ppm

Temp 22.5

TDS 29

 

 

Crystal clear water.

'Red' Vallisneria - It's a deeper red in other places further downstream in the Mulgrave, and I'll post those shots soon.

 

Here is the natural habitat of a submerse growing fern which we believe is identical to one which was being sold on another forum for serious money. Bob and I will be putting some up for sale soon, if not into the August auction.

Finally a couple of pictures of an interesting organism that totally fooled me into thinking it was a snail. Bob knew better and correctly pointed out it was the home of an insect larvae. Amazing engineering to create the snail shape using grains of sand.

Those are awesome photos it looks so serene there. Does Australia have any plants like anubias that's native ?

Looks good Ben, shots came out well, I have been flat on my back for 10 day with the flu, done SFA

When you put up shots of the Mulgrave I can add the shots of you snooping around in and under the DAM COLD water

 

OZ there is loads of marginal plants around that need to tried out, ones that are out in the dry and under in the wet like Anubias

The Bob & Ben trip.

Bob and I collected a couple of other ferns that look similar to java fern. Now that I know they will survive underwater (they have shot new leaves), I'll post some pics soon. I also collected a couple of other marginal plants that I'm waiting to see how they go underwater.

 @northboy  Hope you feel better soon Bob. The fern I got from the first side creek on Harvey has started shooting underwater. So stoked. Pics soon.
