I am finally getting my plants to grow!

[Spencer1044]

Just moved corries to a 10 gal and now in a school of 4

I agree. Now does anyone know of any bottom feeders that stay relatively small?

Does it have to be a fish?? Can it be shrimp?

 

[Spencer1044]

I was thinking about shrimp but I think my paradise gouramies would eat them

 

[Sk3lly]

No experience with them. My shrimp are thriving alongside my gbrs

My fish attack anything really small :/

Honestly I think your best bet for small bottom feeders is to stick with cories, they have loads of personality and don't take up much space or make a huge impact on bioload. There is also a wide variety to pick from.

As for your carpet plant... I have medium light with no CO2 and I decided on using Micro Sword (Lilaeopsis Mauritiana), it grows taller than DHG but should spread faster in medium lighting. The CO2 is a plus will definitely allow it to carpet more quickly than my setup.

What kind of look are you going for? Short lawn, tall grassy, thick, thin, etc.?

 

[Spencer1044]

Im going for a more over grown look and I think i will get river loaches or a dwarf pleco of some sort

 

[Spencer1044]

Im actually gonna get 5 kuhli loaches

Just went out and finished acclimating the 5 kuhli loaches I love these fish!
