Adding more plants is a great idea. Silver Tips love having places to dart in and out of. It mimics their natural habitat and can reduce stress. What kind of plants are you currently using? Java Fern and Anubias are good choices for low-maintenance setups.

I've got a mix of Java Fern, Anubias, and some floating plants like Frogbit. The Tetras love weaving through the roots. It's like their own little obstacle course.

Floating plants are a game-changer. My Silver Tips are always hanging out near the surface when I've got Frogbit or Duckweed. Gives 'em shade too, which can help calm 'em down if they're too amped up.

For real, floating plants are the MVP. They cut down on light intensity and give the fish more hiding spots. Plus, they're easy to manage. Just scoop out the excess when it gets too thick. Win-win.
