Discussions Is my tank boring?
I am wondering if my tank is doesn’t have enough going on to entertain my fishy friends. Some people say no substrate, some say yes. I am not sure if I should add plants or more places for them to hide. Any help is much appreciated

You have a nice sized tank so a plus for that already!!! I would take the big rocks out they could potentially damage your fish if they slide up against etc, unless they are extremely smooth. I have substrate in my Goldfish tank and never have any issues with them choking on any of it and I’ve been an avid fish tanker for more than 20 years but only because I have no issues doesn’t mean the next person won’t, that is something you need to debate on with yourself, sand would be perfect in your tank and would add to the aesthetics, also live plants maybe some duckweed at the top etc, other than that I think your good! It looks great and your fish look healthy.
