that's not that hard just let it grow and don't move it to much about or better don't touch it at all... there are 3 base plants the rest are new plants that grow on the older ones... i allready took theme of and they are waiting to be given away or to be tied to the other wood in the tank...

the ferns are in there a while... but half of it are new plants that grow on the 3 base plants... the fernleaves don't grow that large.

the fish settle fine... they mostly stay together and since they are half the size of the kub's and the other botia's there isn't much grrr in them. But my morleti aren't agressive either towards the other species.

My frenatus (The adult one) doesn't realy know what to think of them. In the past he always chased the knew additions for a week or 2 but with these he had a weird stare down and both fish were a bit confused when they stared down eachother.

they also are feeding well i fed the fish about 10min. after they were in the tank and they were already eating with the rest. Yesterday i put in some veggie's(cucumber... don't know how the spell it in english in dutch its komkommer so you could put that in a translator if you don't understand my first try grin...) and the ate of that too.
