Thanks for the advice. I agree completely. I'd like to do hairgrass and riccia, move the swords nearer to the back as you mentioned, and grow the ludwigia through the swords.
I DO love the diagram!

very nice tank and your plants look great!

want suggestions on where to move stuff?

A) move sword over and back a little.
B) move larger sword towards center and back a little.
C) move wood towards front a little.
D) put a few stems of ludwigia here.

i see you have some plants floating. why not put them in the space that the larger sword is vacating?

dontcha love my awesome diagram? lol.

great tank Afro! now where are the Africans?

 

[AfroCichlid]

Lol, Pappy. I have plenty of Africans; I post more about them than my SA/ CA's. In truth I keep only one Tanganyikan tank, 1 Geophagus tank, 1 blue Acara tank, and 1 planted Ram tank. I am sorry to admit it, but the majority of my tanks do not contain Africans. My most recent experiences have been with Africans, but my tanks over the past 15 years have contained more New World Cichlids than anything else.
Besides, the only thing I can grow with any success in my African setup is giant Vallisneria. Sorry if I let you down!
P.S. There are plenty of African pics in my profile.

update: rearranged a bit, just after a trim, still need to add hairgrass and riccia to fill it in.
