DennisP Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 You could get some sort of large sword plant. Most should get big enough to fill most of the gap. You could also just put a big piece of wood in the corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supasi Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Here is what I would do. Leave the plants as they are. Get rid of that printed background and replace it with black. In my opinion the addition of too much more to the tank will crowd it. The filter is more likely to damage or make plants grow on odd ways due to flow. Black background will bring out the colours better and not make the tank look too busy. It will also help hide the filter. That's just my opinion though. If you are intent on planting something there then maybe a red plant like Rotala or Macrandra if lighting permits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supasi Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Looks like a Echinodorus cordifolia to me, but Im no sword expert. I strongly suggest you change the background and see what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
