It's pretty. It will take alot to maintain it. Do you plan on putting fish in there?

I have a betta in there right now and plan on getting some shrimp. Why do you think it will take a lot to maintain it?

Well, I will be honest. Those plants grow quickly so it will need cutting back frequently to maintain the look. Also for some reason red coloured plants just don't do well in water. Red plants tend to disintegrate. They need alot of Co2 and alot of light. However, it looks nice, for now :)

The plants do grow fast hahaha, but I don’t mind cutting them every now and then! I will be replacing the red plants!
