Hi everyone , I need some assistance with my first planted tank. It’s a 110g tall. I have some Amazon sword and Java fern, my swords used to be so big and beautiful but I had a pleco that almost killed them all so they are slowly recovering. I have the LED Fluval smart bar light, no C02. I use root tabs and some liquid ferts. I need help with what else I can plant to make it look more full bc right now it’s so sparse with the small plants and the 11 fish. I replaced the pleco with some ottos that are working on the diatom Algea but they are barely making a dent (note the green Algea back wall too). I need to fill in the space aswell to give obstructed views from each side of the tank as my angels currently can see each other clear across and there isn’t any privacy for anyone in there.
I’m looking for some stupid simple newbie plants that can be weedy and grow tall for the background, I was thinking corkscrew vallisneria? Or does the straight stuff grow bigger and taller?
I’d also like a shorter ground cover for the front of the aquarium that can propagate itself through the gravel and won’t mind the lower light.
I’ll be getting more Amazon Sword for the mid ground.
Any other ideas are welcome! The aquarium is also next to three windows so gets some natural light!
Help me make my beautiful big aquarium be not so ugly!!!
