I really like the rocks and how you arranged them. Not sure about the rotala eruption thing, but I'll stick around to see how this thing develops.

so heres a new update! its been a while since i posted up and the tank has grown in quite a bit! added in some wood from my old scape and it really pulled everything together a little bit more. i have been regularly trimming and trying to form the rottala into a nice smooth bush in the back there! hopefully soon and any suggestion on some new fish getting rid of the sunset platies and moving them to a breeding tank! any suggestions welcomed! thinking about adding a couple of rams get a little group going duno yet

Beautiful scape, so detailed and complex. I wish I could get glosso to grow like you!

Looks really good. I think it may be a good idea to get rid of the sunset platies like you said. In this type of scape, their behavior makes the tank look really "busy", even though they are very attractive. I love Guppies, for example, but never put them in a tank that not stem dominated because they just go everywhere. I would add more neons/cardinals (can't tell) and leave it at that. It will allow the scape to really become the focal point, while still having activity from attractive fish.

its not to hard you just need very high light and a little co2 but once it gets going it takes off. The best way ive found is if u start by planting a lot of nodes right off the bat and it fills in much more evenly

I did this just after I poster the last post I moved the breeding group to their own tank and now I have a small school of my green neons and some ember tetras witch look much more uniform


did a good trim today and pulled out the pieces of wood now that the plants have grown in very nice im thinking if doing a restart in the near future not sure how im liking tjis lay out.
