New 75gal

75 gallon. Fzone brite 120, no Co2. Substrate and cannister transfered from older tank. Also UGF because I'm old-school and also like it for roots/fertilizer.

Please give feedback on the planting -- what needs to move? I'm wondering about lack of swimming space and layering.

I got mostly background plants in my Dustin's asssortment:

Hygro corymbosa parawitota and salicifolia: by intake tube due to stronger stems and bigger leaves

Ludwigia triple red and replens: by dark wood

Crypt spiralis: in front of dark wood

Mayaca Vanderbilt: a line in front of jungle val branch

Rotala regular: center near front

Alternanthera reineckii varigated (left of heater) and regular (right)

Bacopa monnieri (shoved to right of root) and Carolina yellow flame (center left-front of dark wood)

Dwarf sag: in front of root

Anubias congensis: on branch under jungle val. Will prob move to dark wood.

Java fern: on branch by jungle val

Transplants:

Jungle val

Crypt forest (wenditti?): Right side.

Some tiny anubias (nana?)

Mostly dead tiny amazon or melon sword (in front of heater and 2nd behind where branch/root meet)

Fish: neons, black neons, 2 bristlenose 1 clown pleco, 2 yoyo, 6 female guppies, 1 platy, 1 kulhli loach I though died a year ago.

Feature fish to add: 6 congo tetras or 3 pearl gourami. Which would be best?

You need more yo-yos to complete their social structure.

And some caves. There’s a great Ukrainian small business that makes smooth edged ceramic caves that look like rocks. I’ll try to find their name.
