I found this awesome gnarly driftwood that I'm working with for a new 40 breeder tank.
It makes a perfect tree and I'm torn between using moss or java fern for the "leaves." I was leaning toward needle leaf java fern. The branches will be close to water level, would the java fern be the right plant? Maybe a peacock moss or Xmas moss would be better? I plan on keeping the tank simple with the tree as a focal point with the HC and DHG providing a meadow underneath. In the back left, I'd like to do something tall. I have a bunch of Amazon Sword, but I don't think it's right. Maybe some Jungle Val or Giant Sag? I'm open to suggestions and scaping ideas. The tank sits in a window in our kitchen, and is viewable from both sides.
