Default 6g nanocube for betta

This is immediately after receiving the plants and planting them, so it's kind of crazy looking. I'm hoping to do some reorganization next week after the veggies settle in their new home a bit.
(I trimmed the impeller blades considerably to lower the current for the betta).

Plants are:
java fern
brazilian pennywort
mayaca fluviatilis
cabomba caroliana
Pogostemon helferi
HC
lobelia cardinalis "small form"
Proserpinaca palustris (if it recoups after shipping)

I actually like this the way it is , especially the corner where your rock warps just so. Very nice.

Really pretty. You'll probably have daily trimming maintenance of the cabomba and cardamine lyrata!

Yeah I planted the cabomba knowing that I might have to remove it if it becomes too much work.
So far it has behaved for the first week. I tried to pick slow growers, but I wanted unusual shapes and I couldn't pass it up, especially because I had some in the 40g. Not that it grows much slower, but the floating one is Hydrocotyle leucocephala. You can see it better in this older shot: http://www.slimyfrog.com/6g/target6.html

Good looking tank slimy, good work. About the cabomba, if it turns out to be painful to trim, you can try with some Rotala Nanjenshan which is thinner and may fit well in your tank.
