You should have spread the HG wider in single stalk. Will grow up more nicely than one whole bundle together.

I bought this glass CRS ornament as I thought it will go well with my tank


The CRS must be wondering who the newcomer is! LOL

nice tank bro...liked the bushy look of it

Just curious, did you add those plants and woods straight in after purchase, or have you quarantined them to look out for potential pests?

I suppose soil as well as fiter medias are all new? Did you test the water parameters before adding the shrimps in? One week cycling may not be long enough.

Maybe yours are water lettuce.

Frogbits normally don't grow very big...
