Real plants would've been ideal but new light fixture and C02 just not in the budget at the moment. Moss balls are real but that's it. Anyway just wanted to post a pic. I'm fairly new to the hobby. Just finished cycling so there were no fish in this pic but now it's home to Bolivian Rams, Curviceps, Priscilla tetras, debawi catfish, bristle nose pleco and emperor tetras. Also looks like I have a 6" bed of gravel but that's a piece of moulding on the stand.
