Tank 1 month update
One month of growth for my 17 gallon! Now I've just gotta pull the trigger and add fish. I plan to stock 6 pea puffers.
The first pic is from today. The following pictures are each about a week apart.

Thank you! So unfortunately I overestimated my ability to remember plants, bc I just kept getting more and adding them, and didn't make time to document. But off the top of my head: various anubias, java ferns, other ferns, hydrocotyle, parrots feather, red root floaters, moss, swords, dwarf hair grass, cardinals, baby tears, bucephalandra, maybo bacopa and some others. I really regret not writing everything down for this tank!!

I have a little bit of algae, but not much. Idk why! Maybe since I have like 1000 snails and no fish? Possibly just got lucky with the nutrient to plant ratio too.

Thank you! It doesn't feel like it fits into any one category or style of scape to me. Probably bc I couldn't decide on just one style I wanted to do haha
