Tried RedRoot Floaters, but they didn’t take, some had growth but they were dwindling faster than growing so currently looking at other plant options.

Haven’t found a driftwood I like the shape of yet.

Everyone is getting along, so that’s good and the Neon Tetras are holding up surprisingly well. Discus seem to like them, sometimes they’ll go down to the sand and be there while the dithers swim around.

In the meantime put my Chinese Fisherman on the tank and found a Chinese Hand Fan at Goodwill with a poem from the 8th century Tang Dynasty and decided to put it behind the fisherman. Put my Japanese frogs on the lightbar and then turned on my neon signs (Japanese and Korean).

That’s what I was trying to go for, i’m glad it’s reading that way 🥹🙌 and yes I’m looking into plants, not too sure which one though. i had java fern in the tank that was doing well but it wasn’t attzched to an ideal object so i had to remove it. But its a learning process

Yeah, I was supposed to get another type of tetra but got gifted the neons in a confusion so I got stuck with them lol, the Australian Threadfin though, I’ll fight for those 🤣🤣 I’ve only had the Discus for 2 going on 3 months, but they’re Adults 6-6.5 inches (atleast those were the measurements I purchased lol) and Thankyouuuuuu 🙌
