How to grow a jungle?

Thanks for the kind words! It's come a long way from a 3 gallon with one little anubia and a betta! Hopefully, I can get it to a point where I am a TOTM contender. The gravel is not as big as it looks, but if I were to do it again, I may have gone with a plant substrate. As it is though, the plants seem to root well and I rather like the color. ~brandy
