Hi everyone hope you are all okay.
I guess this isn´t really aquascaping or a propper planted tank but I would really appreciate it if you could help me get this aquarium to look beautifull. This is my 30 gallon hillstream tank. At the moment there are 5 mountain minnows. 2 stiphodon gobies and 2 hillstream loaches. I tried to create a sort or river like feel to it but I think it could be improved a lot. I like the rocks sloping down and the driftwood following that direction but maybe the placement is not right or it needs more height.
I don´t know anything about aquascaping but I really love these kind of fish and want to have a níce place for them. I need to change the white sand to dark gravel as it gets really messy due to the algae growing on it . Also I have some anubias nana and buce I want to add but not sure where to place them?
What could I do with the area on the end of the slope so that it doesn´t look so bare?
The java fern attached is growing but it only shoots off little leaves that seem to stay small and stop growing. I am dosing ferts to increase algae and help the fern.
It is tricky to find the balance between good algae growth while having some nice plants. Anyway the priority is the fish health and they need the algae so I´m not looking to outcompete it. I would like to add some pinnatifida if possible.
Anyway I´d appreciate your input on it. Thank you.
