Changing plants

[adams84]

Hi i am just wondering if and how much completely changing my plants would upset my 2month old tank. It is 32 liters with 3 zebras 3 leopards an 2 albino corys.

I currently have plants that were bought for me while i was away but they take up too much space at the top for the danios to swim freely.

Its not stuffed. The plants are thin with small leaves coming out the sides all the way along. It is like a maze to swim around

Generally I get a mess which clears in a day or three. Rarely any trouble with the fish doing this.

Shouldn't have a big impact on the tank as long as you're just replacing the plants and not the substrate. Do you have sand or gravel? There will be some disturbance when you uproot and replant, but should be ok. I've had to do a good bit of experimenting with my 6 month old tank and I've constantly fiddled around with the type of plants and decor. Worked out just fine.

Nice! I like the layout.

(I've got to load a photo to POTM driftwood contest this morning here - if you want I can do yours at same time if interested in a contest submission?).

Done - still counts (and I wanted to try different file types).
