1 month in with new aquascape

[heatherpooreks]

I wanted to post my upgraded tank. I haven't been on in awhile, but I went through the trial and error of planted tanks. This is about 8 weeks with fish in. Plants: moss ball on driftwood "tree", annulus, hornwort, Java fern and two other plants I forgot the name on. All natural substrate. Stocking wise: 5 danios, 1 betta female and 3 loaches. I am aware most will think I am over stocked, but this setup has worked for me since I started the hobby in Aug. My water parameters are 0 nitrates, 0 nitrogen, neutral ph and ammonia. 30% water change weekly and 50% monthly.

This is looking great! I love what you did with the marimo balls
What is the wispy looking plant in the back to the left of the heater?

I also like how you have extended the decorations outside of the tank, very cool idea!!

Thank you! Hornwort I think. I got it in a 10 gal pack of easy plants. The fish are happy.

Very nice looking tank. I agree with @mcordelia about your marimo ball "tree"
