Not bad plant growth you have there!

Hmm, I'm no expert, but maybe the lotus is placed too centrally. MAybe move it to the left a bit more, and it looks too "full" imho. Maybe you'd want to trim the leaves abit? And maybe trim the short plants on the right and plant the trimmings in front of them, make it look fuller and have the contrast there.

The moss wall kinds of spoils the look imho. Maybe you'd want to remove it, because even after the moss grows in and covers the UGF board, it still doesn't appeal to me ( of course, my opinion could be wrong! )

Once the foreground grows in properly, I'm sure it'll be nice

What fishes do you have in there? And I would like to know the names of the plants on the right too The one on the left is H.difformis is it?

hmm..actually the lotus wasn't too central at first..it was slightly off centre towards the left, but it has grown so huge with many leaves and plantlets that it appears to dominate the aquascape..haha

the short plants on the right don't grow v. fast..in fact..they show the least growth out of all the plants! as for the moss wall, i'm experimenting with it, shall wait for the moss to grow out before deciding whether or not to leave it there.

i have discus, neons, cherry barbs, guppies, SAEs and shrimp..

those on the right are eel grass and a. ulvaceus..and yup..the left one is h. difformis..

The H. difformis on the left is going to overwhelm the entire tank if you are not careful. By then, the aquascape will be unbalance with the stem plants on the right, seeming dwarfed by the difformis, but yet disturbing the focus with its color.

The lily could seem out of place in no time.

The stems plant looks pretty fresh and still in emersed form. You could have planted them too closely.
