Hey all,
I’ve finally gotten the water in my tank to clear from the black sand and I think in a few days it’ll finally be ready for plants (the HOB is there just for clearing the water and will be removed). This is my first serious aquascape attempt and I don’t think it turned out too bad (given the fact it doesn’t have plants yet lol). The idea is for this tank to be an Endler breeding tank. 3 females and 1 male until I can figure out how much fry I can handle. Some otos as well for cleanup and maybe nerite snales if I get green spot algae. Anyways…I need plant advice! Here’s what I’m thinking:
-A little bit of frogbit at the top
-a lawn of hair grass at the base of the tree
-dwarf sag in the open space in front of the slate
-a lush jungle of Vallisneria around the sponge filters and in back of the tree
-I also need something to glue on the tree. I want to try and create either a bush or some leaves
-scarlet temple next to the heater (speaking of…is the heater in an okay spot or should I move it?)
-some sort of anubias glued onto the cave
-maybe a little bit of baby tears somewhere
This is my first headfirst attempt at a fully planted tank too so fingers crossed it doesn’t end in a disaster. Give me advice on what I can do to make it better, plants, placement ideas, etc. I’d love to hear what you guys think!
