I've done a bit of rescaping with the wood and some the plants have grown huge especially the cabomba ,

also added some bucephalandra purple

and some bucephalandra brownie Athena

I will need to trim the cabomba and the stringy plant someone id as Hygrophila angustifolia. I have read that if you cut the cobomba you can replant the top but the bottom part can go brown, is that true ? if so not sure whether to cut it but I also don't want it overrunning the tank.

Hi Its been a while so I thought I would give some updated photos, the tank is now pretty much where I want it to be. The golden barbs are gone and replaced with some rummy nose tetras.

so my sister lives in Argentina and on a recent trip to Brazil I asked her to bring me back some rocks/stones to the UK. After boiling and soaking I have added them to my tank.
