I think you've chosen 3 types of foreground plant. And the rest are background plants. Maybe you can get some mid ground plants.

I suggest you get more plants maybe some crypts and maybe some smaller Echinodorus sp.

The Lotus is ok. It will grow big, so remove the bigger leaves and avoid all surface leaves.

May I know the tank dimensions and parameters e.g. lights, co2, fert?

tank is a 2.5FT 75X37X40cm having diy co2 currently changing to cylinder this weekend.. 3X36W around 8cm of base fert.. no liq at this point.. thats abt all.. and where can i get the plants u mentioned? i only have 2 foreground elatine and glosso

Hairgrass the one u have chosen is the short hairgrass meant for foreground to midground, the taller species of HG is for background very nice plant actually.
App=elatine=ah pek plant

oh ok sorry forgot abt the hairgrass.. it seems that everyone is suggesting me to replant the hairgrass.. will do it tomorrow

maybe you can use the najas indica as a midground plant quite a good choice.

Hiya

is that a common snail I see on one of your pics? think it may be best to remove it while there is still a chance.....they will soon populate and become a real problem.

[M0rph3us]

sigh my tank has lots of snails.. everyday remove tons of them.. i think i can open snail farm liao....

[benetay]

the fine leaf plant u have in the first pic , thought it was a najas indica, or did i see wrongly.

just got my first co2 set from chan today.. hehe so happy.. [] [] [] []

[benetay]

I was at chan for the last 3 consecutive days maybe i saw you =)

you could perhaps get a one...only one yellow puffer if you do not have easily stressed fish like discus....the other way is not to push the PH by reducing KH to 6 or 6.3 levels....the absence of KH makes the snail shell soft and difficult for growth.
