Thoughts on planting my first hardscape?
This is my first hardscape, nearly complete. It’s a 20 gallon long. The wood and larger rocks beneath the substrate are glued so they can’t move at this point - but i can still mess around and add to and move the medium sized move and substrate, then it’s planting time. There’s lots of deep aqua soil in the back, sand in the front. My current plan is to do a ton of plants, a school of White Clouds, a school of Pygmy Corys a couple shrimp and snails.
What can I do on the left side that would be interesting or impactful without making the scape feel too symmetrical?
Should I aim to have smaller-leaved plants in the back and larger-leaf plants in the front to cheat a sense of depth?
Any suggestions or advice is appreciated! This is my first go.
