Nice cabinet!
You might want to slope up the substrate. This stabilises your driftwood and provides depth also.
The java fern on the left looks out of place... maybe shift it to the back?

Added more plants. Gave up on my HC. Too much headache! Replaced with a foreground plant that I have yet to identify.
Bumble Bee Snail
Just learnt that this shrimp is a Caridina Dennerli
Do you think I should paste a black background sheet at the back of the tank?
Where did you get the foreground plant? Can someone ID it?
Regards.
I got the plant from C328. It grows super fast, and stays low to the substrate.Originally Posted by ct13
Can tell what's the snail in there?
where you bought the cabinet from and how much it cost? i want to get a cabinet too and yours is nice
The foreground plant that schwantz planted for the above tank is elatine triandra
Hi schwantz may I know how much does the optiwhite tank cost
Wow theres a sulawesi shrimp in there,
as far as i have read they seem to be advance level type of shrimps.
mind sharing your water parameters? hoping i could keep them in my planted tank as well but fear that they might not be suitable as they live in high ph
while plants and tetras are low ph...
I bought my cabinet and tank from Mizuworld.
I wouldn't be so quick to claim success in rearing the shrimp because I only bought it 1 week ago. I also don't have a clue what my water parameters are. I just change 30 percent every week.

Hi, schwantz how much it cost you for your foreground plant you pay to cover the 2ft tank and where you purchase the bumble bee snail and it cost,as I intend to purchase it hope it not expensive thank.

Hi Tarzan, I only purchased 2 pots of the foreground plant aka Elatine Trianda.
Each pot cost 2 dollars. Bumble bee snail from C328. I think its about 60 cents one.

You mean that it spread the tank may I know how long it take elatine to spread.
Mine took about 2-3 weeks for full coverage. Now I have to cut away excess!
Oh how envy that it spread so fast and youy even cut away,you purchase the foregroung plant and the bumble bee snail is at Clementi florish and Aquarium shop at blk 328,clementi avenue 2 right to aviod disapointment if I went the wrong place do they had lot of stock for the foreground plant when you purchase thank.

Hi Tarzan,
Yes, i bought from C328 but I cannot guarantee they have stock. I bought the only 2 pots they have. I seldom see it. Perhaps you should call them before going down. You can also try the fish shop next to Nature Aquarium in Thomson.
Sulawesi shrimps are supposed to live in Alkalaine water. Harder at PH of 8 or so whereas a planted tank's PH is usually lower isn;t it??
Wow! you keeps that sulawesi shrimps in your planted tank! but I see you also keep some neon fishes in that tank...
i found it in their site
