Hi all,
I am going to soon want to work on my 25g tank
aquascaping wise, and was wondering if anyone had any ideas for this tank.
It is tall, not long, and contains my breeding pair of Angels and 9 Corydoras Aenus.
I would like to go with something that looks good, is simple, low light, and works well for both my spawning angels and my corys.
I have access to lots of free "natural decor"
The only plants in here are Wisteria, Java Fern "Windelov" young plants, and one Anubias that has lost almost all its leaves due to Angels but has 4 new leaves sprouting now.
Heres a couple pics
Lighting is .5wpg and an additional clip on 23 watt spiral.

I would do this as IMO your angels need all the room they can get!!!

stump=brown
attach anubias and java to stump

pygme chain swords=fluro green

dark green= blue stricta

Noone has any ideas?

I dont think I can get any more light anytime
soon.
I do want to get a nice peice of dw for it though, and maybe some dark gravel and some more plants.
I have planted some Bacopa in there,
which did really well before, so letting that grow in.
Also thinking about getting a couple/few more anubias
plants, perhaps just going with those 3 plants:
Anubias types
Wisteria
Bacopa

Well with lower lighting I'd be cautious about using dark gravel, especially since the plants are somewhat dark as well. The overall effect will be rather dark even with the light on.
If you do want a darker gravel I'd suggest doing it in steps. Add the drifwood to begin with then add a darker gravel if you still think the tank needs it. I'd go with a dark natural rather than a straight black substrate.

Go with natural looking gravel & add some more Anubias. It's better to put a piece of slate in there, so the Angels will clean it & not pick on your plants.

I have tried several peices of slate, the angels refuse to spawn on it
I guess they are picky.
I think what I am going to do is mix some black in with the white.
I am going hunting for a peice of driftwood soon too.
I have planted some bacopa in there and it is doing pretty well.
