Thanks I've tried getting it looking natural and prehistoric. there's 7 ropes, 4 bichirs and an Africana snake head head in there.

Also see a huge chalceus hiding in there!

You must try vallis, really climbs

And a mental fish he is too lol always jumping. I've got some val on the right, it spread out a bit when I first put it in but it doesn't seem to be growing in height at all, hoping an investment in better lights might help that.

Mine was like that too.

What's your water's Gh? It grows best over 5-7 degrees general hardness

my water's classed as moderately hard so right around there. He's grown from the size of a guppy to about 7-8" in about 10 months so not too bad.

Vallis should work then...

Mine went from 1" to 4.5" in a few months, ended up selling him. Lovely fish

the first one I had got eaten by my 1 of my polys so grew this one out in a guppy tank for a bit first. wifey won't let me use it as a grow out anymore though, I keep decimating her guppy stock.
