sooo I finally got myself a one gallon bowl. happy! but clueless how I will project this bowl. what I have planned is to plant it with cryptocoryne and add root tabs. and maybe a snail.

no filter, heater, etc. (ill look into these if im going to decide on adding a snail).

and well heres the bowl.

side question-- if you had a one gal bowl what would you do to it?
 
its like 10 shrimp per gallon. You could probably go like 8 ghost shrimp and be just fine, doing your water changes etc

really? for ghost, I thought it was one gallon per shrimp. aha! that'd be sweet. but then that means I have to get a heater and filter.

Ten per gal is for RCS
 
maybe it was RCS sorry. I keep about 20 ghost in a 5 gallon and they are just fine. they dont last long tho. I breed them for food hehe


Also watch what shrimp you get. Some are cold water, like ghost. I keep the tank around 68 degs. if they are in my 75g Hatchet/Rainbow tank longer then 3 or 4 days they cook
 
ok. thanks. i like rcs, but I wont be getting shrimp for the bowl. ill stick with plants on this one. btw I have this crazy idea for the bowl. ill try to get a sketch and share it soon.

I got the idea from the planted hob I found out from rivercats. heres the inspiring pic that took my breath away

edit» well crud, its not 'my crazy idea'. instead a hob and tank, my idea was to just do that to a bowl.
but my main goal is to get cryptocoryne and grow it out so whenever I can set up my 20 gallon I can add it in. not sure how its going to turn out.
