There were lots of plant matter and small to medium sized fish,swimming over small coloured pebbles and a few big rocks at the bottom of the tank. A uv light was used and for filtration there was a water pump,an oxygenator, machanical filter, trickle filter and 2 underground filters that arent good with real plants. The fish were fed tropicle fish,there were 2-3 real plants and the rest were all fake,but the real plants were dying and some had snails and algae on them aswell as on the tank itself.
