ok so here is my tank now with all the plants in it. i am going to re-aquascape when i find out what all the plants are and where they should go in the tank.
mmmm...
the plants in the back that look like "bamboo" are actually a draceana(a land plant). They will eventually need to be potted up as house plants or discarded since immersing them will cause them to rot. Everything else I can see in your tank looks good and should fill out if you have enough light. I love your new gravel, much better than the blue, and you'll love how your fish and plants show up against it.
