So I was thinking of listing out a ton of good, compatable fish, plants, tanks, lights, ect for newbies and regulars who are looking for good ideas. Some input anyone? Im gonna stay along the lines of natives, crustaceans, and an angelfish tank.
Missouri Creeks tank:
-40 gallon wide tank
-bottom dwellers(Orange-throat darters, Black bullhead, golden crawfish)
-mid dwellers(bluegill, creek chubs, common shiner)
-top dweller(mosquito fish)
-Plants(Duckweed, Fanwort, canadian pondweed)
_substrate(large tan rocks, tan-brown gravel, sand)
Cherry shrimp Tank:
-10 gallon wide
-Bottom dwellers(cherry shrimp, Nerite snails)
-Mid dwellers(neon tetras)
-top dwellers(guppies, endlers guppies)
-plants(dwarf hair grass, melon sword plant, java moss)
-substrate(black sand, driftwood according to looks)
Bamboo shrimp tank:
-20 gallon long
-bottom dwellers(clown plecos, Ghost shrimp, Nerite snails, bamboo shrimp)
-mid dwellers(Dwarf gouramis, angel fish )
-top dwellers(platys, mollies, guppies)
-plants(Bamboo!! a forest of bamboo placed in front of the filter output, Dwarf Hair Grass, amazon swords)
-substrate(Black gravel, moss balls)
Angelfish tank:
-40 gallon tall
-bottom dwellers(cories, sailfin plecos, ghost shrimp, nerite snails)
-mid dwellers(angels)
-top dwellers(sword fish, guppies)
-plants(sword plants, corkscrew vallisneria, anubias)
These all worked pretty well for me and looked amazing when in their prime.
