I-like-that-there-are-more-plants,-but-I-still-think-you-should-pull-up-the-clover-and-other-plants-in-the-front-and-plant-it-as-a-thicker-patch-on-one-side.....It-would-be-nice-if-you-had-a-big-plant-to-hide-the-sponge-filter-too.
You-obviously-have-good-growing-conditions,-so-replanting-what's-in-the-front-shouldn't-kill-it.
Nice-healthy-tank-though......PK

The clover is growing in. I might add in some Glosso or Elatine Triandra. FYI, plastic cup is holding baby shrimp, and breeder is holding plants for sale.

give your fish soe more hiding places. you know, if you go to the riverbed, fish hide under fallen branches, rocks, assorted human objects (tires, vases, etc), make your fish feel at home, it is instinct that fish seek out hiding places; of course fish like danios, tetras like open water, but even they like to go under leaf cover; also the background, either a backdrop of plants or paint it all black; also try to hide as much as the "artificial" objects like heaters, areation devices, filters, etc behind or in natural looking objects like bogwood/driftwood, plants etc. also, I did see a platy, I do not know your other fish, but some more aeration may help. also, get some shrimp and olive nerite snails, always compliments the set up (just watch out for copper additives)outside of this, it looks good, your current plant life will spread via runners, in time, about 6 months, you will have a nice set up.
