A little update of the tank grogress.....

Added some new plants:
Crypto Balansae
Ludwiga Arcuata
Rotala Indica
C. Mi Oya

Its quite a hassle to maintain a tank full of stem plants, gota trim and such....
wana change to some lower maintenance plants....maybe stargrss or MM?

Any recommendations ppl???

Thanks in advance!!

IMO Crypts, anubias sp, moss, java ferns are better choice if you want lower maintenance
