Very natural and soothing setup.

You may also like to share with the folks here how long it took to mature the scape.

Nice scape by the way.

I usually buy from here then bring back JB, agree that JB got not much choice. A few fish shop just starting to sell low grade CRS. Try the fish shop at Carrefour, they carry quite a variety of fishes compare to others.

Some pgymy rasboras maybe, or ember tetra.

Most of the plant after much trimming they get more bushy and short.

HC need more light to creep lower i guess.
