So the first picture shows the planted aquarium with anacharis which we don't have anynore. The anacharis just left a huge mess of itself all over the tank. I read that it begins to fall apart around 77° F. Which is odd because I also read that they do very well in the 80's. But after seeing all of it pretty much collapse, we removed it and got some Water Wisterias. Which look very lovely.
But if you notice, the areas where the anacharis used to be was replaced by the Wisterias.

Right now, there are only five neon tetra and two albino Cory catfish inhabiting the tank. Soon I hope to get little clams to dwell at the bottom. And maybe a dwarf Gaurami, maybe. I want to keep as little inhabitants in here as possible. But the fish seem to love the live plants.

Looking nice! But before you add another species of fish, I'd up the cories and neons.
 
I don't know about that... Every time I add new tetra, one or two always seem to die off. Like always, at least one. I was thinking about getting one more cory and a Gaurami. And that'll be it. I don't want to over stock and I want to keep the fish population to a minimum. Because these tetra are actually getting pretty big.
 
Definitely add more cories, around 8 should do, a dwarf gourami could go in and also bump the tetras up to 10/12
 
Every time I post something about my tank, there's always a few people telling me I should add more fish or tell me the entire species profile.
I know I should add more cories, I will be doing that soon, and 10/12 tetra? I think I won't do no more than 8, if I am to make the addition of a dwarf gaurami.
 
Tank looks good mate! :) Loving the driftwood.

Get the lil catfish some buddies, they'll be much more active and stuff.
