Nice tank. You have always been successful with Riccia.
BTW E.Triandra is supposed to stay low isn't it? 
Barclaya longifolia - wow thats nice, but will it not grow tall for the foreground?
Good luck with the tank...
|
Riccia is good plant can be used at any place in the aquarium. I really love it.
My E Triandra is growing long. Ha……….ha………ha……

I am not an expert, but here are a few things I find necessary....
1-Barclaya isnt suitable for small tanks, better remove it. If you are looking for contrast to green get some brown wendtii tropica.
3- replace riccia with anubias(on top), as anubias is better suited for that location, it loves shade.
4-Remove blyxa from right and place it along with the other blyxa at the back(left background)
5-Keep trimming and replanting e. triandra for short dense growth.
6-Your mosses need a trim as well.
7-The right side of wood is a shady area, so HM isnt suitable for it, get some low-medium height crypts for that.
8-Lastly keep plants in well defined groups. |

Just like the way I have lost track of different crypt variety I have, you might mix up your mosses too!
