Nice tank. Your Gourami is a Trichogaster trichopterus. I see it in the upper left corner.

I know that Java Fern can live and grow in low light, but I keep my Java Fern in very high light with CO2 and it really grows and thrives. Maybe you have too low lights?

Yes, thank's for mention it. ;) I don't know how to edit.

This setup is done 3 weeks ago, but the plants are reused from another setup that had about a year.

Where's the algae?
I hope will never comes :)

Here is a picture of the setup at one week distance.

The wood is darker now and I’m thinking to cover it with some moss.
I also need to trim the rotala to make it bushy.
