So I have been seeing people with their HOB filters are putting live house plants in them (as well as their regular filter media) to use more nitrates, have any of you done this? What type of plants do you use? I have an established ( 1 year) 28 gal and I was wanting to keep cherry shrimp but was concerned that the nitrates would be a problem because they say shrimp require perfect water conditions. I change 10 gals a week so about 50% a week but my nitrates usually hang around 5-10 PPM maybe between changes every 3-4 days at 5 gals a time. Also, would anyone see any problem with the cherry shrimp being housed with black skirts neons Cory's betas or plecos? I also have a 10 gal beta tank with do dwarf frogs. I only want a few shrimps, if they have babies I would just let the other fish eat them as I don't wanna mess with breeding them.
