Thanks buddy. Didn’t thinking the plants would take so well. Having issues with carpet plants tho, can’t get them to grow.
my tap water is ph7 and stays really balanced so I don’t want to go playing with it really but understand what your saying.

PH is fine for the fish you have

What's your M/F ratio?
You really need to get more, you have plenty of room, and they'll stop hiding when they have a larger group

They don’t normally hide to be honest and really active.
2 males and 2 females, I’ll will probably get some more but I’m thinking of using my quarantine tank for breeding them ?‍

speaking of hiding, will swordtails hide if you have more than 2 in a group? i only have 2 and they just hide whenever a human passes by, they are totally fine with fighting with guppies and catfish..

I’ve tried with some carpet plants but had no luck with them. Will stock up on plants again soon and try again for some foreground

i have tried red crypts , they like to be buried a little bit in sand and like root tabs thats the only carpet that worked for me. maybe try Monte carlo or japonica? never tried those but those are pretty hardy i heard...
