Wow I’ve been really busy with work so neglecting updates on the plants.
So it’s been 5 weeks since this setup started and so far most of their plants have recovered and started to grow. Had some problems with diatoms after 3 weeks but added 3 Oto’s, so problem solved.
However green hair algae started to creep in only ever so slightly.
I have also added 10 cherry shrimp and only 4 days ago I managed to receive 8 amano shrimp. Which is a result as getting these amano took a long time searching, just hope their the real thing.
No fish yet.

Problems with Glossostigma elatinoides
Now the plant at the back ( not sure of the name) does not feel right so thinking of taking it all out. And just leave the space for the grass to grow in.
Thanks for looking all advice welcome.
