Ok here goes.Left to right

Amazon sword (Ech.Bleheri), Baccopi Australias (now replaced with Hygro Difformis), Anubias Barteri Nana, & Nana Golden. Crypt Petchii at back

Crypt Wendtii (brown i think) at front, more Nana Golden, Hygro Corymbosa (tall stem) around wood (now being moved to right wall), Hygro Difformis behind wood

Crypt Tropica then Hygro Siamensis 53b & Vallis

There's also a little bit of Dwarf Sag, but it's not doing much (one supplier didn't recommend in pea shingle?)
