Update on 5g... yesss plants

[Quin]

None of these plants were what I was shooting for but I'll definitely take them. I got temple compacta along the back of my tank with some bacopa in the mid/back, plus an anubias congensis as a centerpiece. I've got a salvinia supplier I'll be hitting up soon as well, so we'll have some high cover until the tall plants grow. Please tell me how you feel about the plant choice, and whether or not I could do better!

Also, pardon the bacteria lol

Ooh I'm really liking it! I might try moving the wispy plant on the right side of the tank to the other side with the other wispy plant so it doesn't look so "paired", but this comes from someone whose only attempt at growing aquarium plants was thwarted within 15 minutes of planting by what was sold to me as an apple snail...

Awww sorry to hear about your "Apple snail" lol. I'll definitely take that into consideration, but this is by no means the final plant layout. I'm going to be propagating them to move forward as they grow, so it will likely be changed anyways. Thank you for the advice!

I enjoy the look of it so far.

I’m very basic when it comes to plant selection though so I can’t offer any helpful insight. But if you keep us updated I’ll gladly pick up some tips
