That's a very nice looking tank & IMO you're doing a great job with plants.

what is the second background plant in from the left? it looks like just what im looking for to fill a back corner.

What's the pot for?? Plecos?? If so, I would move it in a less visible spot, probably behind a rock or plants, and fill in the space with more plants that the pot was in.

The tank is coming along very nicely. That terra pot(in my opinion is for planting a plant) saying that they can be used in an aquascape but as it is still too new & it looks out of place. I would put it where it can not be so obvious then tie some small anubias over it to give it the look as if it was meant to be there.

I would get some tall plans (all same variety) at the RH end certainly not val. Preferably on of the Cardimines.

Then I would mix the three tall varieties along the back and RH end rather than give it a patchy look of start and finish of each plant.

Also RH end travelling towards the other small plants in the front I would plant several bunches of small lower light green Crypts but not in a straight line and with a few small flatish natural coloured rocks (sold Bunings plant section) small bags $2+ perfect for that job.

Ring me if you have any concerns
