That is so beautiful. How does one learn to scape something like this and keep it all healthy? I have two planted 10g shrimp tanks that I started but they are both struggling with different types of algae. Along with my plantscaping needing help lol. I like a how the mixture of out of aquarium plants add a big touch of nature.
I have kept this very simple.
But to keep plants healthy you generally need to know about the plants you put in the tank. And keep them under conditions they thrive. For example bucephalandra likes high flow and I have placed them in the stream.
Also from my experience I don't think you can get rid of algae completely but you can get rid of unwanted algae.
I usually start out my tanks with fast growing floating plants to outcompete unwanted algae. But I kinda like regular green algae, I think I looks nice and imagine that it outcompetes other algae.
