| Oh this is not a good start....You should have added a layer of potting soil under the gravel, plants like amazon swords, don't grow without any nutrient substrate, why did you hurry up like that, you should have studied a bit more, I think you dint read about basics like cycling n all. |

If the filter is working then its perfect. When you start you planted tank, place the filter at the back end and hide it with some bushy plants. Just use some sponge, dont use activated carbon, it'll wipe out all the fertilizers for the plants. If possible, try to find a spraybar for the filter.
Those amazons will outgrow your tank. They are not good for small planted tank, their root systems can cover whole bottom and making it difficult for other plants to grow. |

After trying really hard, I was able to find only one tetra a few cms beside the filter. Thats not a vilma's tetra for sure, still difficult to guess, can be a serpae tetra.
