For the penjeng (if I spelled that right) I would think (with 0 experience) that simply keeping an eye on them and if you see any unhealthy signs (yellowing of leaves, die back etc.) then just add a light dose of liquid fertilizer and monitor the change... I really don't think thare could be much else to it, except maybe some trimming later on.

Love the update! I grow both HG and MC on a window sill just in a basic propagator (tray with a lid)... if left it works its way outside the lids but they help reduce watering. I would guess you don't need to do anything to yours. I do find the MC in particular melts when you first plant it and looks a bit sad, but then goes crazy so I expect if you ignore it that it will soon look awesome... just like your underwater plants :)

The flowing water stone display might benefit from an enclosure trapping some extra humidity. I have a 20 gallon shrimp tank with a big miniMatten, ( yeah I know, Jumbo Shrimp..) that has become the media for all of my Monte Carlo's heavy growth, It's sending up big mounds of aerial leaves but the tank has a full plexiglass cover and it's quite humid. I know this is in your tank room, but is the room itself warm and humid enough to support moss growth on otherwise exposed, damp piece of wood without water flow? Also, MC likes to collect mulm, it grows better when it can have a bit of detritus mixed into the roots, maybe try watering it with your other tank's mungy water.

Nannostumus Marginatus are pretty tough to breed, as an analogy. I had a 15G with a colony of 8 N. Marginatus and they were always breeding but the youngsters were also always getting eaten by the foraging adults. The tanks should be thick with floating water sprite, Water Hyacinths and should have a thick hedge of established Rotala Rotundifolia. Needs a ton of thick roots/hiding areas for the slow moving and fragile fry. I'm a glutton for tetra breeding punishment. Some species will breed and have fry make an appearance despite the odds of living in a community tank.

Wow it’s crazy to see the regular white clouds vs yours! I have poor quality gold white clouds. I got them super cheap back when I was starting my first tank so I’m a little attached to them. Even breeding outside this summer they still develop a lot of dark scales. I didn’t end up with many though because of water nymphs, for better or for worse....

Jordanella Floridae is definitely one of the best fish out there for tub season. Mine flourished outdoors in a planted tub. They are so well adapted for life in a tub I really suggest something bigger than a 20gallon for a large colony. Your going to have a couple males try to become dominant, and they really need room to establish territories, or they may fight to the death once they start getting into breeding mode

Please could you let me know in your opinion what would be the better more interesting and easier setup or if there are any changes or improvements you would make to the lists, Thanks
