Re-Scaping?

[stanleo]

Hi,
I want re-scape my 29g. It has been running for over 18 months. Is there anything I should worry about when moving the plants from one spot to another?
 
Should I leave the fish in there?
 
Any advice would be great!Thanks

Looks pretty cool to me
 
I'd remove your fish if your going to be pulling stuff out.
 
Also plants get upset if you move them but they should recover.

Yeah, I've you're going to be moving more or less everything - it would be best to remove your fish for a while.
 
I think your tank looks great though, I'd be happy if it was mine!
 
Apart from the background, maybe you should go for a plain black one?

 

[stanleo]

I was thinking that. Just replace the background, it doesn't quite work with everything else going on in there. I really like it but I want to move the swords to the back. Maybe I will just replace the background. Black would be cool, but what about all Blue?

 

[Joshwainwright]

I like blue backgrounds too, not as much as black though
 
A slight move around and a new background would make it look brilliant!

Stanleo, what's the big leaved plant at the back, middle left? I presume that the big plant front middle, right-ish is a Crypt?

 

[stanleo]

That is an anubais. I think the one you referring to in the front middle is one the amazon swords. There is one on the bottom right corner that I don't know what it is.
