Current flora:
rosette sword
cardinal plant
anubias nana
jungle val
pennywort
red cabomba
bacopa
larger anubias
Current fauna:
10 harlequin rasboras
2 german blue rams
1 pleco
1 oto
I hope to get the blue rams to spawn, so I'm keeping the tank around 80 and feeding freeze dried bloodworms, flake, and sinking pellets + algae wafers to be sure everyone gets a chance to eat. Also dosing excel + flourish once a week. I'm going to add a few lower things to the left side to balance everything out, would love any suggestions / observations / advice anyone has!
