They actually get along very well. I've had them together for a couple years. I do need to trim....badly. It grew out while I was away for 3 weeks. I plan to do that later this week.

Definitely some very nice growth for 2 months!!!

It's looking good, but I can't see any fo the rocks

I finally did a trim yesterday. Here are a few quick shots. I still have a bit of rearranging to do. Let me know what you think.

Here's an update for this tank. I ripped out all of the val. nana, as it got all BBA infested when I had a CO2 problem. I replaced it with some didiplis diandra, which is still very short, so you can't even really see it yet. I added a few small pieces of narrow leaf java to the manzanita, and threw in a couple stems of hygro angustifolia that I received as an extra with a plant order (I didn't really have anywhere else to put it yet, so for now it's in here). I have started spot treating the BBA with excel to kill it off before I remove it. My CO2 levels are back in order, so that should take care of it. Sorry about the ugly powerhead in the front. I just added it to increase circulation while I try to get rid of the BBA. As always criticize away!
