pretty sweet looking tank you have there all those plants tend to grow tall though, or are you going for that effect?

is the bala alone?
if so, id try rehome it soon because its gonna be a lonely little fish. also, some lfs don't take fish that they see as too big.

My LFS have a tank full of fully grown balas yep its on its own ill get him a friend in 4weeks if not ill take him back if he seems a little odd didnt no all the plants will grow oh no hope my tank doesn't go like a jungle if i prune them constantly will that be ok to keep them at bay thanks for comments

Also could some 1 id the big plant in the middle of my tank

Nice tank setup. Not bad.

i dont know much about plants but i feel that could be a bush of bolbitius heudelotii (or however you spell it).

pruning is a good idea but what i was thinking about was, maybe, taking away 1 or 2 of the taller growing plants, moving the rest to the back and adding some smaller growing plants, like java fern, in the middle and front. but its your tank mate, and you've done a fine job so far

Mr White,

I love that tank!

However if it was me I would remove the bridge, but that's just me the rest of your scape looks so nice that just seems a bit odd there.

@ madman james nope thats not me m8

@ neo ad thanks for the comment m8 bridge has gone now anyway replaced it with some rock/pebbles

Glad to hear that, I was just going to suggest you do the same - the rest of the scape is nice and natural after all

What type of sand did you use, it is a nice colour?
