Yup live plants, fairly heavily planted, fish seem to love it. Took the pick with the barbs (sorry i know they are hard to see) from the side of the tank. I will see if i can get a good head on pic.
hmm just looked them up and theyre a really good looking fish. anyone else keep them? nicely aquascaped tank too, a lot of people have a lot of height in their tank and dont have tall enough plants.
