Is this tank set up okay?

[professorjimjam]

I have redesigned the set up of my tank, removing some decors and adding more plants.

someone told me that it is overpopulated with plants. I am not sure, I also heard that plants are good for water and for fishes.
can you tell if this is okay? or shall I reduce the number of plants.





I also do not know the names of these plants.
what is this called?




also what is the name of this below plant, it is floating in my tank.

Floating plant is hornwort.
The one in the first pic I have seen but forget the name.
You have the right amount of plants. Most of your fish are either easy prey species, or are very nervous species and need high cover to feel comfortable. That cover is going to make your fish, especially the puffers, be very happy, even at the cost of it being hard to find them.
It’s good to have an open area as well as a crowded one for good swimming room as well as hiding space.

This is that same tank as above, showing the plants growing from the surface.

IMO, there is no such thing as being over populated with plants.
