Thank you for letting us know, we will take this out. We bought this today with other plants from our local fish store so we assumed they would be ok in our tank as they were altogether when we bought them. Thank you.Looks fine to me and not much to worry with your fish about looking at those pics.
Just one slight concern, one of those plants at back of tank look suspiciously like a house plant, a dracaena type plant.
The plant that has green middle and outer yellow leaves in your pic. Believe is not an aquatic plant. Sorry about that but better you know now rather than when plant dies and gives out loads of ammonia etc
Thank you, I will research this.“Glass surfing” is very normal in a new tank setup - they do that when they are exploring their surroundings.

No worries at all, thank you for letting us know! We’d rather know now rather than when we get a spike!Sorry, did not mean to rain on your nice tank but ultimately that plant would have died and perhaps set off an ammonia spike which might have affected you livestock.
Hopefully you will get some nice replacement live plants such as Java ferns , elodea, cambomba and there are more choices really as those are just examples of easy to care for aquatic plants with standard tank light and set ups.
The fish do seem to be settling in now, we think it was just the initial change to a new tank. Yes we have used the old filter media in the new set up, we are daily testing and currently no issues with the water and temperature is within normal limits for the fish we have.Pacing is a sign of stress too, which does happen when put into a new environment but also when the water isn't in optimal condition. I'm assuming you cycled the new tank or at least used the old filter media in the new setup?
Java fern is a very common plant that most LFS stocks as staple for fish keepers really. Unless of course they were out of stock as good healthy plants will sell quickly.Where can you find the plants you listed? We’ve looked for Java fern and have not seen any in store.
