I keep searching for it but I never find it in stock. Did they discontinue it or something? Ive been waiting for 5 or so months and no reputable store has it in stock.

Well with most islands the substrate is sometimes raised up to the top of the island kind of like a large hill in the middle of the tank so there wont be much crevices where waste can get to.

If you do an island with that position, then you would have to either put taller plants in the middle of the island or dont put them at all. It seems like your tank would look nice with a foreground or carpeting plant surrounding the island with some splotches of midground plants there and then more midground plants in the island You could bury the sponge filter air tube under the substrate and then put it horizontally in the island. It might mess with the flow though so you can try something like this photo but maybe make it less bushy and more formed

With that tank position, an island style might be best. That way you can view it on different sides of the tank Like this

Well, what type of aquascaping style are you trying to do? There is a software called Scape It which doesnt let you view the back but it is the best scaping software out there.

Does anyone know of any darker Echinodorus plants than the amazon sword?

I made some slight changes but I'm not going to do exact Dutch and more so Dutch-inspired as of the plants, streets, and variations. I moved the sword to the right a bit and changed up some positioning. I might keep the basics of my layout the same but I will tweak it if necessary. Here it is as of now.

Do you think this would be a good plant in between the rotala and sword? Alternanthera Bettzickiana Green

Do you think a darker green sword echinodorus plant in the background would be better? If so which one? HereScape It is really nice. You can just search it up on google and you can just start scaping without any account. It even tells you the lighting conditions, fertilizers, Co2, and substrate amounts for the selected tank!

But it could be lingering in the tank so try doing what this guy did

I searched it up and it seems that you use 1 tsp of aquarium salt (not table salt) to 1 cup of clean aquarium water for 30 seconds to 1 minute. You might need to repeat it a couple of times to get rid of it.

I made a small template on Scape It and I'm not sure how it is. Some of the plants are look-a-likes to the actual plant. Can you guys give me some suggestions and remarks for me? Thank you in advance

So I've got good news and bad news. The bad news is that the fish died yesterday. The good news is none of the other fish are showing any symptoms as of right now but I will still keep doing the treatment for today. And none of the cherrys or snails died during the treatment.

I mean I know they arent dither fish but pea puffers might be cool. The Co-Op made an article. They are a little bit hard to keep though so if your up to the challenge then go for it. They have cute faces and curious personalities and they are really cute. https://www.aquariumcoop.com/blogs/aquarium/pea-puffer

Would it still be considered a centerpiece fish even if i get 3 honey gouramis? @Tony s
