Hey, I'm still in the process of setting up my new 28 gallon aquarium. I picked put my decorations and theme, its not as natural as a lot I'm seeing.. but I thought the Asian sortof theme was fun. I know I want to get a couple of the good luck moss balls to put in the front, but honestly I'm at a loss on what to do for plants. I don't want too many bright green plants to where it over powers the "bonzai".. I've been going with dark colored plants mostly so far, so they can benefit the tank but not stand out too much.

Any ideas on plants for the background? Or should I just scrap the whole idea I have going on now?

(By the way, the circle that's in front of the internal filter in the back is a reflection of the tv. Also, I'll be getting rid of that filter. I have a new one installed and I'm running both to help the bacterial growth.

I'd appreciate some help on designing the planted back part of the tank so can avoid spending money on plants I end up hating lol.

They might very well be julii cories, if so that is totally awesome. I wish my LFS was as knowledgeable! I have never kept kuhlis and cories together, but my best friend does and she doesnt have any problems. The black kuhli loaches are usually smaller than the striped kuhlis, and have a pretty low bioload.

I think your choices are awesome and I am super happy for you!!
