Good growth, lushful Java fern and windelov. They can grow quite big when condition are right. Thanks for sharing.

What's the plant at the bottom left corner?

Not sure of the correct name but should be Japonica.

Very nice.. just that the foreground feels empty.. what do you give yr plants..??.. I cant get my java fern to grow like yours.. thanks..

If it is japonica, maybe you can buy a pot of it and plant them away from each other on the foreground, about a palm size distance away. That way, the japonica will grow out without making the front look to cramp or empty.

hi, will the ferns at the bottom turn black/brown?

I use two type of liquid fert. in this tank. Daily dosing with SEACHEM Flourish or Sera Florena. The latter seems to be better.

Yes. Those fern at the bottom have turned brown before and seems to be getting lesser. I think it's because the fern at the top are growing so well that they blocked out the light at the same time.
