Too Many plants?

[ProtegeRacer]

I have 6 fake plants and 2 medium wood cave thingies and 1 big cave thingy, cannot over crowed the bottom of a tank with fake things can you?

More stuff on the bottom just makes it harder to vacuum. But as long as you're ok with that, and as long as the fish have enough room in the tank, it should be OK. Do you have bottom dwellers? If so they need adequate bottom space to hang out in.

It's ok, though it might be more than you need if your fish don't hide in caves.

Just as long as you leave the middle open for fast swimming fish like tetras and danios you should be fine.

aww man I forgot about vaccuming. Oh and I have Ghost shrimp as bottom dwellers

Should be pretty easy for you to move the fake stuff around and then vacuum. My problem is that I've got heavily planted tanks... with real plants that have rooted into the substrate. This makes it pretty tricky to vacuum around all the plants.
