I have a 5 gallon I am curently using for fry but as soon as they are old enough to go into the main tank I am redoing the tank. Here are a couple of my thought tell me what you think!
1) I considered doing a simply heavily planted tank with crystal red shrimp.
2) I thought about letting some banana plants grow to cover the top of the tank and have a betta and some frogs or something. I would do it open top so I could see the flowers.
So what do yall think? I am so stuck. I know I need low bioload because My filtration is going to be wierd. I will be running a marina slim s10 but the filter media will be absent. Instead I am going to fill it with gravel and grow terestial plants out of it. It would be like a sponge filter in essence.
I am leaning toward simply heavily planted with rcs and clams but I am not altogether sure. But I am leaning strongly toward that right now. What lighting would you sugest for a 5 gallon on a budget?
Thanks and God bless!
