How is the maidenhair “planted”? Is it in a HOB filter?

Nice wood. That is a beautiful aquascape.
Elsewhere you mentioned having neon tetras in another tank and wanting siamese algae eaters.
We have a siamese algae eater in our 75g with congo tetras, neon tetras and other fish in a similar setup to that. And by similar I mean it started similar and then chose its own path.
Excited for you. That piece of wood is such a centerpiece. And them danios are going to be gorgeous!
CPDs so far for me have been very entertaining twitchy little guys. Some smaller tetras might be good choices too - you'd see them more often.
That’s a gorgeous tank! What did you use for the wood? Did you treat it or prep it in any way? I’m going to set up an 80 gal tank soon and its primary focus will be aquascaping. I’m still going to have fish but, I’m concerned about just throwing in some drift wood or whatever and having it affect the ecosystem negatively.
Edit: thank you!
I don't know the species of wood, and did not treat it. If you have the pots for it, I would recommend boiling the wood just to get tannins out...but I haven't personally had any bad experiences with wood that I get from aquascaping shops. I would be cautious about picking up wood from the ground if you're planning to do that.
