Sorry for the late reply, yesterday was busy!
Thank you for your compliment on my tank. It’s ok, but not particularly well planned, Blue seems to like it enough and that’s the important thing.
My tank is an Aquadistri Home 30 (only 25 ltrs though, not 30!) and I got this as it was an ‘all in one’ tank, lights, filteR which I thought would be really good for a first time fish keeper… I wouldn’t buy this again, or recommend it particularly. It looks nice enough but I bought a second filter as the one that came with it had sealed unit with the filter media that it recommended you changed every month. I couldn’t work out how you’d maintain the BB if you threw away your filter media each month…
So, I bought a small Eheim filter, prised the filter housing off using a flexible carving knife and scalpel to remove the silicone.
As for the plants…? Another newbie error. I knew I needed live plants and grabbed a selection of ‘easy’ care ones. I know there are two Amazon Swords and the floating plants are water spangles. The fluffy looking plant on the right is some sort of sessiflora (I think)…
