    Hi all, am think of removing the java ferns on the left of the DW as some of them got BBA on their roots and leaves.



    Not sure if I grow more of the spiky moss on the left will it make the tank looks funny.

    Can anyone suggest what kind of plants will make good replacements for this region?

    thank

    IMO, i think your tank is great from the one you have now. SHouldnt get anymore planted at the side unless you want something like japonica. Your focal point is the DW so dont shift it away by creating another with height. Maybe add some more foreground ? I think you ll need a foreground like HG it will loook real wild and natural

    thanks. actually have both HC and glosso in the foreground, wait for them to flourish. but HC seems diminishing, luckily the glosso is growing.
    what's HG?

    HG = Hairgrass. What about Blyxia japonica to replace the Java fern or get new Java fern?
