Just wanting a few ideas for my 30G layout Please.
Its home to 7 Bronze/Albino Corydoras & 6 Female Guppys.
It has great Lighting & Everything grows so fast i cant keep up.
My live plants are Elodea/Anacharis & a small Anubias which sprouts fresh leaves regularly.
I like the natural(ish) look so not really interested in colourful ornaments.
It just looks messy & un organised so wanting peoples thoughts on this if i can
Few pics attatched
Thanks in advance

You could try vallisneria and some taller plants like amazon swords/echinodorus at the back, then plant the elodea in front of that in thick patches. Smaller, more robust plants - like anubias towards the front work for me; positioned between and around rocks and wood.
That aside, the tank looks great. The plants look very healthy and the tank overall looks well kept!

My nana plants don't grow too quick and Cryptocoryne are slow growing for me.

The only thing I would suggest is changing the background. As soon as I looked at the first photo, my eyes were drawn to the colour on the background plants that distracts from the natural beauty you've created with the live plants, sand, wood and fish. This is a major issue with any "pictured" background. I now use plain non-glossy black construction paper, which is so inexpensive you could try it and if you don't like it you haven't spent a fortune for nothing. But I suspect you would like it; it gives the visual appearance of more space to the aquarium as well as "disappearing" so the fish and plants are what you see.

Thanks for the advice, But im no means a beginner, Ive had fish for as long as i remember. Also a member on the site for 17 years.
This was a spare tank that housed guppy fry but i have now dumped Bronze Corydoras in too. Keeping only the oldest (2 year old) Guppy females in there. As it was originally used to house fry only, The Elodea was perfect for the fry to thrive in so i just kept it. Now just want a change around
