True, but Java Moss and Anubias are pretty forgiving. Still, it's good to keep an eye on things.

If you're feeling adventurous, try adding some floating plants like Frogbit. They'll shade the tank and reduce algae growth.

Frogbit is great, but it can block light for other plants. Just something to keep in mind.

Yeah, balance is key. Maybe start with a few and see how it goes.
