I was bored with my 30 gal. so I decided to try live plants. Here is what it looks like so far:
I do not use CO2 or anything special. I add a vial of plant food weekly. I put a new light on it which has 2 bulbs. One says Coralife 6700k and the other is pink but doesn't say wattage. I have no clue when it comes to lights but it is meant for a planted tank.
All plants so far are doing well except for the one in left corner:
It has new growth but is constantly losing leaves and seems droopy.
I am not happy with the looks at all. Not happy with the fish either
I am thinking of adding more of the fast growing plant in the right corner which I think is Green Lloydelia. I feel I need some broad leaf plants of some sort and some foreground plants. Which would look nice and are easy to care for ?
Too....I am partial on the skull. I have an African theme in my house so it seems to match....but not sure if I like it.
What fish are typically kept in planted tanks ? The only ones I would like to keep are the Cory Cats. Rehoming the Danios, Phantom Tetras, and the unhealthy Gouramis I purchased 2 weeks ago.
Should I add a background ? I am thinking typically planted tanks do not have one.
Sorry for all the questions. I just need a little direction. Thanks
