nice setup.. looks to me your plants are maturing have u considered the amazon sword to be too big for the tank?

Tried to find out from Tropica wats an amazon sword but to no avail. Care to enlighten ... don't really know the names of these plants....[] My 4 feet tank at home houses 20++ plants... many without names!!! hahahhahha[]

Btw, at time of photo taking, only 5 cherry shrimps + 2 yamatoes + 2 puffers + 2 SAE. Shrimps are doing very well ... office free aircon at 24C.
Just added 6 tetras + 6 cherry barbs + 3 chilli buddies + 2 ottos yesterday. Puffer started to nib the tails and was immediately sent into isolation tank ... awaiting sentence!!!

2' PL Lights (2 x 18W) = S$45
JBL base fertiliser = S$17
