It's one of my favorites too. I had the kokedama in a jar for a while but also really wanted a maidenhair fern incorporated into an aquascape. I'm hoping it'll grow nice and large to make some amount of shade. It has roots that grew beyond the kokedama ball already and just floats in the tank helping absorb nutrients now.

    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.

    I've got about 10 green neon tetras in a 10 gallon tank, they are very fun to watch indeed.

    I was also considering some siamese algae eaters in this tank since I've always wanted them but never had the space for them previously.
