The top is just normal small gravel from petco the bottom is floramax substrate . The plant in the back is rotala indica the light on the tank is a light just for plants its in a pink spectrom so they alll should do ok fingers crossed. But thank you so much :)

Ah ok, that explains why it looks so different. I have never grown that before, and I was thinking it looks like bacopa but very stretched out. What kind of filter did it come with? Maybe I will have another HOB buddy among all these canister users  :)

I have another peice of wood going in the tank working on sinking it now. I'm not a big fan of rock and wood in an aquarium for me it's one or the other. Just don't look right to me with them both imo :)
I'm a rocks and wood kinda girl...I like both in my tanks but I think tanks can be beautiful with wood or rocks or both.

I don't have any cherry barb experience, but from what I remember barbs are somewhat aggressive, and you might start losing shrimp fast... I have tried shrimp/fish tanks, and it never works well. I would recommend shrimp alone if you want them to survive
