Ok I don’t think I want something super insane (first planted tank and all ) cause I don’t want to get in over my head here, but I’ll definitely look into those plants as they all sound very interesting Ok at this point I’m probably going to look into finding a good 5 gallon tank haha since a...

I forgot about the dollar per gallon sales my family has been pretty much stuck inside for ages getting things delivered and such but I’ll look into that thanks Ok I’ll look into the others instead thank you
