I finally got a start on one of my planned shrimp/planted tanks. It's a 15g. A T5HO 2x24w fixture on the way. Ordering the liquid carbon and dry ferts(EI dosing) tomorrow. The substrate I have is Fluval Stratum Shrimp Substrate. Root tabs I can pick up locally if needed. My plan for fish is, Guppy fry, either RCS or Blue Pearl Shrimp and some Corycats. I would like some Nerite snails or Oto's if I can??. I will let it establish a bit first. Filter is a non-branded HOB(rated for a 30g). Cycled already, currently on my 10g to keep the BB alive. I plan on getting a Fluval C2(?) very soon. I just wanted to ask for a list of plants. Keeping in mind it's shrimp, I would like 'busy' type plants. I was told that my new light fixture would easily put me in the Medium/High light range. I don't mind which light range the plants are for. The tank, it's not quite finished, scaping wise. In the picture, the rocks on the left, I plan on banking the left back corner a few more inches, raising those rocks. Also the back right hand side I want to raise it a few more inches also. So basically the front right quarter of the tank will be flat, about 1-1.5 inches deep.
I will try and point it out in the picture, i'm not very good with words...haha
So in a nut shell, what would you recommend, bearing in mind i'm a newbie to plants. Also I don't plan on heavily planting....Thanks, Ian
