What plants or decor would you add? Everyone has such full and beautiful tanks. I'm open to suggestions.P1020005.JPG

More plants! And maybe a driftwood centerpiece.
 
some of the plants that are in a bunch split them up a little and plant them. also look for some driftwood or rocks. think about a forground plant.
I was going to get 3 or 4 more of the anubias for the front.
 
I also have a cave that is drying in the garage. It's like the one in the 20 long - we painted it black with Krylon Fusion. The Otos are always in that cave so I bought one for this tank. Would you get more of the same plants I have or add more variety? Instead of splitting up what I have I could buy more.
 
I would personally do both. Get a few more of the plants you have, and maybe a clump or two of others. Put the taller plants spread out in the back, and put shorter plants in front, etc. Also, I'd put a background on to hide the wires!
 
Background to hide wires!
 
When I put the plants in I was thinking about what it is going to look like after they fill out. I made that mistake with the 20 and originally had way too much hornwort in the tank. When it started to grow the fish had barely enough room to swim. I definately am buying more anubias though. I love the way they look.
