  • Beautiful scape. I think the next thing for you to try would be your hard scape. Particularly with the fish that you have. Try some spider wood or manzanita branches, along with some almond leaves and large dry seed pods. This will add tannins to the water which is beneficial for your fish. Then add a cheap low pressure yeast/sugar based CO2 system. You'll really flourish then.

    Is that the plant soil gravel from pet smart? If so how long have the plants been alive and do you use any products to help the plants Or does the soil provide all they need? I know fish that small don’t have a large amount of bio load
  • Cheers from my fish room channel in Chicago! Good luck with your new aquarium and channel. Happy to support you and subscribe :)

    Kinda small since neons need a 20 gal. Maybe more stem plants. Another problem is the java ferns being rooted in the substrate. They should be attached to hardscape. Mentioning hardscape, there is a lack of hardscape in this tank. Overall, 3/5 keep up the work. Maybe watch videos from Serpa Design to help you get better at scaping and fish care. EDIT: I watched your previous video about this tank. I can't see clearly from this point of view, lol. Pretty creative design so it's going to go up to 3.5/5. Definitely make bigger and more eye catching hardscape. Also hide the filter and heater, they don't often look good in a natural scape. More bushy stem plants are much needed since neons are quite shy and would love more cover. Stem plants like water sprite, hornwort, hydrilla, etc. can get messy, but if you work with them more, the easier it is to make a scape with them.
