This is my 30g....gourami, rummynoses, kuhliis. Will be adding a clown plec and group of green fire tetras

Substrate is 75% gravel, 25% Flourite; lighting 1 wpg. There are currently 6 pieces of driftwood in the tank, all but 1 have plants growing attached. There are a variety of anubias in the tank, some Java fern, and a bit of anacharis.

I'd like to re-do the tank but I'm not terribly creative with ideas. I was thinking of maybe keeping the wood to the sides and the center more open?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

You can trying a single thickly planted mound in the center of the tank and get some low lying plants such as crypts to go around it.

I did a big cleaning and some rearranging yesterday but I'm still not 100% happy with it...

The tallest one in dead centre divides the tank in two. Offset it and bring to the front maybe. In fact about where the fish on the lhs is...

How about grouping the smaller guys instead of spacing out across the tank.

Looks really healthy and verdant. I would be well pleased with that result if I were you. /:'

i like how the wood is, move the tall centre plant to the left corner. bunch the small anubias around the pase of the wood and then try to gind sum glossostigma to carpat the area in the front

p.s try to leave a more deeper space of gravel in the centre(i mean in front of the tall plant, the gravel should be seen further towards the back then the rest, if that makes any sense). is that a snakeskin gourami? i want one real bad.

It looks much better, but for some reason my eye keeps getting pulled towards the left. I think it needs something tall on that side to fill the hole.
