Back in the 80s, when a kid, I used to have a few tanks and actually was doing aquascapes, without realizing it by collecting rocks and sunk wood that I'd find in the rivers of Brazil, where I live. I started watching these videos as I want to setup an aquarium for my daughter and so much have changed since then, I'm fascinated with it. Really inspiring.

You should get a plant growing up top so it's root system grows throughout the wood, that would be awesome. Even a potato sprout would work well and be a bit of extra help with the nitrates.

Water lettuce/cabbage: it sucks out nitrites from the tank. Got mine from local nursery/hardware store. Bonus - keeps down algae. - Careful those with covers to their tanks - doesn't like its leaves with humidity. Turbulence from filter (and air stone) should keep its growth in check. More hiding places for small fish; fry and green roughage.

Really inspirational. This looks very much like the tetras’ natural habitat. If you haven’t talked about this, I’d love to hear how you maintain a natural “cluttered” tank like this over the long haul, especially how you vacuum the substrate around all the leaf litter and sticks.
