A. borellii setup feedback please

[HookedOnFish_MI]

I just rescaped my 15 gallon for a pair of A. borellii and a small school of black neon tetra. Can you please provide feedback on my setup? I have a homemade cave (pictured below) on each side of the tank hidden in the plants.

Nice! Looks much more structured than any tank I ever kept borellii in.

I know it is common but i've never been a fan of flower pots in the aquarium Also i don't think you need it with your scaping.

I hear you, I’m all about a natural look. I’m happy with these though because they’re only a few inches tall, so you can’t see them from the front of the tank. But, I only added them because I thought they’d help with spawning.

Hi all,

I think the pots are fine, if you want a more natural look you can use 1/2 coconuts with a notch cut in the rim and moss super glued on.

I'm moss fan, it doesn't matter which moss, just plenty of it, and I'd also add a floating plant.

Thanks for the advice. I am keeping my eye out for some floating plants.
