Yes Aponogeton bulbs. They seem to be doing better now. I have 6 in the tank as of now. There is also a cryptocoryne where those bulbs are. That is about the only thing changed from those pics to now

There is a stargate in my aquarium.
Nice start. I have to admire your patience to put all those individual small plants in the foreground. Must've taken forever.
It took about 10 minutes to di it by hand and for that scape it took about 30 minutes with tweezers lol.

A couple of things came to mind last night and this morning. Danios are a type of minnow, thus would prefer to bing in a large school rather than a small shoal. This seems to be true for most fish actually. I thought and thought and thought and finally came to a conclusion that a overstocked species only tank is best for most schoolers. Now in a 10g aquarium iit is harder to maintain water parameters but given the right circumstances it would be a feasible plan. I know that I can fit 10 Danio in this tank with no problem but I want to see my boundary- within limit and safety of the fish. If I can double the ammount of fish I know I can sustain not only would I know what can be handled but would make things very natural for the fish. Im really looking for opinions, thoughts, criticism, experiences, etc. on this.
The new layout serves a purpose aswell. Not only will it be nice to look at it is very functional. On the right side, there will be nothing but HC. It provides the swimming space for many fish yet provides cover for fry, injured, timid fish, and inverts. My Danios have already taken more interest in swimming in other swimming levels rather than just the top. I will record the different behaviors for all experiments.
