40 gallon breeder tank ideas

[Hayden2205]

I am planning on re aquascaping my 40 gallon breeder. It is stocked with 10 swordtails, 3 honey gouramis, oto catfish, and corydoras. I have a Java ferns, Amazon swords for plants. I have multiple landscaping rocks, 1 large stump of driftwood and one smaller piece that looks like roots
(Picture attached is current set up)

I have a 50$ Amazon light I found. It grows the plants I have very well. And lights the tank extremely well

I could be wrong but on the left hand. Side I think I see a betta? Is this an old photo or is there a betta in there.. the tank has a good portion already stocked so I wouldn't add much more, perhaps a school of tetra

That is a old photo. I moved 1/2 the swordtails. The betta all into separate tanks

Are you rescaping, restocking or both?

Your tank already looks great!

Rescaping

Your tank already looks great!

The only problem is my internal filter gets clogged quickly and then stops working because not water is passing through it.

Rescaping can be fun. My best suggestion is to get a bunch more hardscape materials--more than you'll actually use. Then, drain the tank and spend as much time as you need playing with the hardscape to make it something you like. Once the new hardscape looks just the way you like it, planting is usually easy.
