What Would You Do?

[Geoff1991]

This is my tank as it is now,

Im waiting on some HC cuba which i shall plant on the left side mainly around the bogwood.

But, it doesnt look finished to me, like it needs that one final touch but i cant put my finger on it...

Got any suggestions?

Maybe something to soften up the look of the plants on the right? They are very much lined up in a row. Another piece of wood on the right placed towards the back (diagonally so that the angle mirrors the other piece of wood) with some moss covering it would add a different texture and cover up some sand. Also gives bottom-dwellers something to hide behind and shrimp enjoy going over moss looking for bits of detritus to eat.
Everything looks nice and healthy... I see your vallis has popped some new runners up. When they take off they really do go!

trying buying some more of the same plant species and planting them together rather than spreading them about, some cryptocorynes would look good.

Thanks, ill try all of those ideas.

I was also thinking of a few smaller plants, just so everything isnt as equal in height.

Anyone know of a bush like large leafed plant similar to this? But much smaller?

Click

Edit:

Yeah the vallis has some runners, i was going to move it, but decided to leave it alone since it seems to be doing ok where it is.

[Geoff1991]

Thanks arron, i probably dont need to tell you that ive already got some wendtii in...

I may buy some more... Hmm.

Edit: Water wisteria isnt really my thing... Thanks anyway.

Edit2: I like the parva. Ordered some.

I would add a few rocks on the bottom. Various natural colors. Maybe even 1 or 2 larger smooth river rocks as well.

 

[Geoff1991]

Hmm, i wasnt really looking for rocks as my tanks fairly small and i want to keep as much open space as possible for my corys to dig and stuff...

Edit: Actually, If i can find some nice ones, i will try them. Cheers

Camboba?

gotta say tank looks lovely

 

[Geoff1991]

I had cabomba in before, but i took it out because its messy. Im looking for something leaved that will stay small...

And thanks.
