thanks. I fiddle about with it a lot, adding more and more plants, bits of bogwood and natural looking things and move them about when I clean the tank in the hope that the fish find it interesting to navigate a different layout. I also have 6 different types of dry foods, plus frozen food in a variety pack and in summer collect ant eggs, mosquito larvae from the water butts etc and give them as a treat. They get fed twice a day on most days but only a small amount so there is no waste to go bad in the water. I tend to run the temp' higher than recommended too and have found that this helps keep a lot of bad stuff at bay (whitespot in particular). I think heavily planted means more room to hide which equals less stress and we all know that stress is a killer, even in humans.
I do me best, can't do more and it seems to work for me. Anyone visiting admires the tank and comments on it so I'm rather proud of it. Hopefully I will achieve the same with my new lizards.
