Unfortunately my camera has been acting up as of late, so these are more pictures from my laptop. Hopefully you can make everything out enough to let me know what you think (good or bad).

As you can see, I added a bunch of Jungle Val. to my tank, and also removed the tall and medium height plastic plants (yay!). I only left two of the low, bright green plastic plants to help keep the two remaining fry safe for a week r two while they get big enough to be safe on their own. I moved the rocks around a wee bit to better suit the vals.

My future plans are to replace that plastic log with a real piece of driftwood, as well as to add some red crypt if I find the tank getting too green. I think so far I have a good mix of shades of green, so the red crypt may not be needed.

The anubias nana I am slowly reviving (from two to four leaves )- it is the little green spec in the bottom right corner hahaha


The Java moss I am using as bottom cover as well as fry cover


A shot of the cabomba and jungle vals to show colour variation as well as height variation (I will be keeping the cabomba rather low for mid ground height)
