Notice anything different? (ignore the floating plants, I'll get to those eventually)


So I'm kind of stuck on the final stocking plan for this tank. Currently I have 2 Endler's, 2 wild guppies, 3 Boraras Maculatus (I didn't realize I had so little until now), 1 Zebra Danio, 2 Neon Tetras, and 1 or 2 Hara Jerdoni. I plan on getting rid of the Danio and Tetras and wild guppies. From there I can either increase the school of Maculatus, or replace them with a completely new fish. I'm thinking of either a school of Boraras Briggitae (because they look so much different...and cooler), 1-2 Clown Killies, or 1-2 Threadfin Rainbowfish. I chose these because they are small fish and are somewhat shrimp-safe. What would you guys like to see in this tank?

Say no to duckweed! On another note, you sure can farm plants, still.

I'm too lazy to take out the duckweed...

I think it's the aquasoil that's making the plants grow...I've never had plants grow this good before

I'm looking at the ADA Nature layouts, and it seems like they all have either wood or rocks, but not both. I'm not much of a rock person, so I'm wondering if I should just find some awesome wood and just use those instead.

I have seen some very coo wood/ rock combo tanks. I would suggest more hardscape though, or use smaller plants. Your hardscape is kinda hidden.

I think I'm going to rotate the wood a bit, because there's a piece that juts out and I'm going to re-plant the Blyxa behind that part so you can see it. And then maybe add some moss or mini pellia to the wood

Looks good ZTM! Don't give the aquasoil all the credit!

Nice to see you are sticking with your tradition of some random floating stems at the surface.

Yes, the floating stems are unavoidable in a tank like this

Haha, yes. Speedie gave me a whole bunch of Hydrocotle at the last SFBAAPS meet, and there's no room to plant them all
