Wow, that sure is a lot of plants for a 5G! It looks great. What are the specs? Any livestock?

Thanks guys,

Thought i better explain myself as to why i have so many plants in there....

This is my only high light tank and plants just grow like crazy in it, This is were i put most of my plants that i will be trading people just so they can be looking as healthy as can be when i send them.

This tank will have some thinning out of plants really soon, because i am trading most of these plants away to Pamelajo for some cherry red
shrimp. :red_dance:
