[Aquarium Plants & Fish]

One tip I got early on was try to scape the tank in 1/3rds and avoid symmetry. Keep the taller stem plants in the back 1/3 of the tank, medium height centerpiece plants like big swords and such in the middle 1/3. And keep the smaller and carpet plants in the front 1/3. Maybe plant one side heavier than the other, or have separation off center. 

One tip I learned along the way, feature big, almost oversized hardscape and plant around it. Draws the eye, and then you notice all the details. Great stone or driftwood really completes a scape.

Happy aquascaping 

Thank you.  👍

I used pen & paper for logging information since day 1 in my aquariums.  I like the hand-written approach, but that's just me.

I wish my first attempts looked that good 😄

Daniel,

Thank you.  Very kind of you to say.  I give the credit to Cory's informational videos.  They helped me tremendously.  📺

Hello Edward Steven,

Yes, I was serious.  These are my first attempts at keeping aquariums, so it looks "ok".  Have a lot to learn.  The many healthy plants from the Co-Op helps a lot.  Thanks for the reply & the tips!.  😊

  It is indeed great to enjoy nature on a daily basis.  Now, if I can only learn to Aqua-scape.  😅

I like Neon Tetras or Red Wag Paties (depending on your water parameters, of course).

Either or would look great with a lot of Vallisneria
