New Planted Fish Tank

I had a fish tank since more than 2 years and i always have been nuturing plants on my balcony, Merging both of them = planted fish tank :) So i researched on the kind of plantation i wanted inside my tank and NO i did not want a theme in  my fish tank.



 While i find themes too be cute and systematic, i dont subscribe to the viewpoint of having a theme tank. My theme is "au naturel" Mix & Match  as the mind feels so. and i did this all DIY style ( means Do It Yourself) i think they call it Dutch Style.


The end result is this  =  The plants are 
1)Compacta (dwarf)
2)Giant Ambulia
3)Dwarf Ambulia
4)Tonina
5)Chain Amazon
6)Water Cress
 and 7)Pennyworth 


I believe in syncrodestiny and i believe this was meant to be done in the manner it unfolded. 
I had a major  ma jor hint in my head to do this planting inside my fish tank. 
I drove down to this far off new store. The store closes at 6:30 pm and door were closed at 7:45pm when i landed up at the door.Something inside me knocked the door handle thrice and after awaiting ( more on patience in the tank coming up) . It was my intention to buy live plants.& a substrate. A voice behind the closed doors shouted "whose there" I replied something politely .
A old lady opened the door and i saw the store closed dark.One line lead to another and another lady appeared. She too was polite and i started talking to her. While i went inside to buy white sand, i changed my decision and taking her advice i bought Azoo Branded Substrate and  few live plants and 6 Head & Tail amazon tetras. I had the whole store to myself reopened to my visual pleasures.
I know the above picture is incomplete, because  this is just day 2 picture, I Imagine what it would look like after 2 months. after 2 years ?This is what i visualize, lot of greenery, "plants with pearls" and a perfect eco cycle in the plan.  While all this landscaping was done along with the fish inside the tank. Let me show you the proof. The above pictures are post everything and well settled so let me show you the first picture after putting in the substrate and yes all fishes are inside this picture. No fish was removed from its house/tank.  And yes all alive perfect in health.
