That looks more like broad leaf water sprite to me. Like this

Potassium permanganate is one of the easiest, effective, and relatively mellow methods. I just make a medium pink solution, soak the plants for 15-30 minutes and that's it.

The scarlet badis I've seen on the lists so far are all wild caught. Care wise they seem very similar, both doing best with live foods or frozen bloodworms Sent from my LG-D850 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Dogs and cats are not comparable to fish. If you want to put them on the same level them they should also be afforded the same rights. Sent from my LG-D850 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Update: Adding a blood parrot to the tank. Not my favorite fish ever, but it's not my call. We actually have a pair of them but since they spawn regularly I think it's best to separate them. Later this week I'll be adding some danio choprae if the water checks out.

The cover probably isnt necessary if you have adequate floater cover. Where do you live?

I just sprinkled a layer across the top prior to capping. Pretty thin layer. Sent from my LG-D850 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

As far as fish go, currently there are a few paradise fish in there, about 10 neons, 3 Cory sterbai (adding more at some point), 2 rainbow cichlids. The paradise fish will probably come out at some point. I'm planning to add either a couple of longfin gbrs or a pair of nannacara anomala, just...
