I know emersed setups can look intimidating, but when conditions are right, they truly thrive. Mine has been doing really well so far, giving me new growth and fresh leaves, so adding more plants felt only natural 🌿
I slightly messed up the carpet and some sand ended up on top, but new growth will take care of that in no time.
Huge thanks to the @aquariumshop.gr for sending my order in perfect condition. I promise these plants are in good hands 🤣✨

Where I Buy My Aquarium Plants For My Planted Tanks!
If you’ve ever wondered where I get the aquatic plants for my tanks, this video breaks down my real experiences with the retailers I use most often here in the UK. Whether you’re setting up your first planted aquarium or looking to expand an established scape, choosing the right supplier can make a huge difference in plant health, value for money, and overall success.
I’ll start with Horizon Aquatics and Aquarium Gardens — two of the biggest names in UK aquascaping. While their plants are typically priced higher than many competitors, the quality has always been outstanding in my experience. Every order I’ve placed has arrived healthy, well-packaged, and ready to thrive, which can justify the extra cost if you want reliability.
Next up are Pro-Shrimp and Aquascaping Express, which operate under the same company. I’ve been openly critical in the past after a few questionable orders, but credit where it’s due — since launching the Aquascaping Express brand, things seem to have improved significantly. Their pricing is much more budget-friendly, and their plant selection is easily one of the largest I’ve seen in the UK. More importantly, every order I’ve placed within the last six months has shown up in great condition.
I’ve also tried ordering from K2 Aqua through their eBay store. They offer a wide variety of plants at very affordable prices, which can be tempting when you’re filling out a tank. However, the lower cost does tend to reflect the quality — I’ve received several plants that were already melting on arrival. Because of that, I’d personally only recommend them when you’re searching for a species that’s difficult to find elsewhere.

@aquarebell The perfect aquatic plant for beginners: Cryptocoryne 🍀
Grows wonderfully on lava rocks, so you can also place the plant elsewhere in the aquarium.
A plant for life, even without CO2, it will grow for years in the aquarium.

I learned a lot with my first aquascape
My personal jungle 🌿
Recently this tank has been seeing a lot of love so I thought id do a bit of a longer look of it 😊
This tank is hard to truly capture its scale and beauty just because of the size and all the lights 😅
I hope you have a Fish-tastic Friday 😊 Do me a favor and think about one think you are thankful for! It may not feel like it in the moment, but it truly helps in the long run 😌

Are you making these aquascaping mistakes?
When I started in the hobby, I made most of them.
Too much light, feeding too much, and adding fish too quickly.
Healthy aquariums are usually simple and stable.
Patience is one of the most important skills in aquascaping.
What mistake did you make when you started?

Well… it finally happened 👀🔥 We officially started planting one of our SHOW tanks!
It’s not finished yet—but we’re getting VERY close 🙌So far we’ve used plants from @tropicaaquariumplants Eleocharis and some dwarf hair grass 🌱 that will carpet this tank beautifully over time.
Next step: we’re doing a dry start 💧➡️🌿 and then adding moss to really bring everything together.
I seriously can’t wait to see how this grows in over the next couple months… this one is going to be special 👌
‼️ Don’t forget our GRAND OPENING April 4 ‼️You won’t want to miss it 👏
