Will, are you using img src? If so, go to the "Photos & Pictures of..." index and scroll down for instructions on how to include images in your message.

img src is HTML code. If you're using the instructions I don't know what's going wrong, unless you're getting the image address wrong.

You must have an image editing program. They usually give you the option of saving an image in one of a variety of formats (unless you're using Microsoft's Paint, which is exclusively bitmap compatible). Choose 'save as', then JPG or JPEG.

the tank is 18G 3X 1 X 1.5 foot i think.. i collected the moss of rocks around the place and just placed them in the tank. i keep it alive with regular spraying.

Actually, if it's 3 x 1 x 1.5 feet, that's a standard 30-gallon tank (at least here in the US). What did you put under the land area? Is it a huge bank of gravel, or is there something else occupying the space under there?

it's well washed clay with some large rocks to take up some of the room. there is about an inch of gravel on the top.

there is one medium sized spider plant in the water. it was an experiment that i did, i grew one plant let in compost, one in sand, one in gravel and one in nothing but water. all of the plants grew at the same rate, this plant is just standing in the water with no compost but i imagine it will be only a matter of time before it roots itself
