My first semi planted tank

[Superfish425]

This is my 29g freshwater tank I have a few live plants in it now but the ones on the rock are not but I'm gonna add some drift wood and more plants and remove the fake stuff. I have an assortment of fish including an Indian pea puffer, two gold barbs, a nice large school of neon tetras, a dwarf gourami and more. Excited to be part of this awesome forum

Redid the layout, what are your thoughts. Java moss will drape over the drift wood once I get it

 

[Superfish425]

Added a few more plants

Very nice! It's coming along great! When plants fill in it will be really welcoming for your fish. Well done

 

[Superfish425]

Thanks Monk!! I'm adding some more moss this weekend to give my shrimp more hiding spots under the drift wood.

 

[MonkeyMonk86]

It's going to look sharp!!! Moss is great! Very homey for our " kids".

The pea puffer might cause problems as it is a fin nipper and territorial. But other then that it should be fine

 

[Superfish425]

Yeah he doesn't really nip at anyone, usually just runs from the fight. He likes to pester my snails but they seem to have out smarter him. they just stay in their shell till my puffer settles down for the night than they go to town on my algae. But thanks for the advice I'll keep an eye out for damaged fins.

 

[cgthebeast]

No prob, though make sure to keep and eye on the beak also

 

[Superfish425]

Will do I feed him brine shrimp and when I have baby snails he goes to town on those. Better than an assassin snail at keep my snail population under control hahahhaha

 

[cgthebeast]

That's the truth. There Hungry little buggers

Here with new java moss on the right and put some on the clip to help it spread out and grow over the rock

 

[MonkeyMonk86]

Looks great! Very soothing. Can't wait to see when moss fills in.

 

[Superfish425]

Thanks Monk
