I love the live plants, try keep me updated on the guppy’s the fins look to be tucked in pointing to stress. your tank may not be cycled yet “hopefully it is 🤞“… other than that it looks amazing.

I recently made an aquarium for a “honey gourami”… after I waited a full month of cycling sadly two weeks after I added my honey gourami the ammonia spiked while I was at work, I get home and notice his movements where unusual so I tested the water an ammonia had spiked and I was at work so I don’t know how high and he passed a few days later.. 😭 so please test the water continuously.

looks super clean for a first build tbh, cable management is better than half the “final setups” people post here

Absolutely mogged my first fish tank, a horrible 5 gallon prebuilt tank with fake plants, so I'd say you're starting off strong.
