Hey guys , I’m thinking about turning my 20 gallon non planted tank into a planted tank within the next few weeks or months. The tank I have now is already cycled and I have 3 shrimp and 7 minnows . I don’t have anywhere else to place the fish or shrimp , so how would I convert the tank without finding tiny fish a new temporary home. Also, what are some good substrates to use and lighting . I don’t want to co2 inject yet maybe later down the line but as of right now could someone please list some good low tech plants , pocket friendly substrate and a good enough light to grow the plants. And would I be able to use my pre existing substrate on top of the new soil I have ? Finally, what are some good non demanding plants that would be good for a beginner such as myself? My budget for this project is around $300 and if I could save money in anyway that would be helpful! I know there’s a lot to cover so if you take the time out of your day to help me I would greatly appreciate it !
