    Is this rescaped from the previous setup with mosses?

    This scape looks very nice! Great effort!

    I can see that this is a new set up from the rock holding down the bogwood. For a new set up to look nice right from the beginning requires skill like those professionals setting up for commercial enities. Congrats, your tank looks really good

    That a well thought scape, and when the windelov fern start growing that will be the focal point. It will be big and bushy.

    Natural and undemanding setup. Nice!
    Careful that the Sagittaria will creep all over the place if not left in check.

    Is it a 5x2x2 tank? What's the lighting and substrate?

    Really nice driftwood you have there. Good composition. Maybe the center can have some stem plants at the back. The left side is a little monotonous with plants all having the same shape.
    I'm back!

    bought 2x $5 nana and 2 X $2.5 of fern from c328 for this new setup
    the rest reuse from past layout

    still thinking of what to do on the left side
    can recommend me a few types of undemanding plants over there ?

    Very nice scape! Just a few questions. How long has it been there? Looks like new but the fishes are in there already. Are you sure it's been cycled? Or are you using filter from previous setup?

    I think the Java fern infront of the bogwood will grow faster and cover the windolev fern at the back ..

    maybe swap the windelov and java fern ??

    The plant on the left forground is Blyxa japonica? it's a little too dense and uniform. Maybe add some nanas between it and the bogwood.

    Here's my suggestion (animated).
