This will be my first ever planted tank, i don’t really know a lot of plants but i drew up the basic idea of what i want my future 5g betta tank to look like whenever i get around to actually building it!
the brown thing is driftwood, most of the driftwood in my area looks like that (i live right by a river so hopefully i’ll be able to find and cure (is that the right word ? lol) my own instead of paying a ton for a spider wood driftwood at the lfs)
the rocks are river rocks, again i’m hoping i can get my own instead of buying them the driftwood will probably be anchored to one of them.
the green on the rocks and wood is some sort of moss, i haven’t decided on what type i want - it’ll probably end up being java moss.
the plants in the back left are big feathery plants (probably cabomba, hornwort, water wisteria, or something similar - again, i don’t rly know very many plants lol but i like the look of cabomba hornwort and water wisteria)
back right is java ferns glued to a small river rock, i already have that in the tank currently.
front right is anubas nana ( i’m not totally sure what size it will be lol i’ve never seen it irl only in pictures!!)
im hoping to use some sort of carpeting plant on the bottom, maybe dwarf hair grass?
the big green balls are moss balls i already have.
also, sorry about not being able to see some things, i was too lazy to change the shade of green a million times LOL
please give me any advice for planted tanks that you have because im completely new to them and have never made one before! and let me know any changes i should make ! i’m super excited for my first ever planted tank!
