help me restart a freshwater tank
So, I had to take down my littte 15 gallon high. Its been cycling for a long time until i could decide what to do with it. so the other day, i found a really great humongous fish store and decided to check it out. later that day, i came home with 6 neon tetras, 6 rummynose tetras, and two ghost shrimp (im 95% sure that they are ghost shrimp, but i cant quite remember). all of the tetras are very small, definitely not full grown.
I want to make this tank a low-medium light planted tank to keep costs down, because im low on $ right now. I have Flourite substrate, and a HOB filter that I might just trash and get a new one. After being out of freshwater for so long, my mind is kind of fuzzy on some accounts. Can you guys tell me some low-medium light plants that would do well in a small tank like mine? Also, could you reccomend a small lighting fixture for me because mine broke? the top of my tank is 20"X9".
what do ghost shrimp eat? do they eat algae or would flakes be fine?
Oh, and i know that some will say that I added too many fish at one time and that i might overload the bioload, and im aware of this, but please bear with me!
thanks for the help guys!
