Greetings fellow Earthlings! I just pulled up my 10g from the depths of the basement to my room for redoing It currently is home to one male betta that is to be moved to another tank. I figure that I should move all of my fish/inverts from my MAJORLY overstocked 5.5g to a nice roomy 10g.
Here's my plan:
NPT with organic dirt covered with black sand
2 13W CFL 6500K bulbs
No heater necessary
Need to find a filter...
Get a nice big(ish) piece of DW
Fauna:
10+ Least Killies (Heterandria formosa)- give or take a few, plus they're breeding
20+ RCS (Neocaridina heteropoda)- give or take a few, plus they're breeding
Maybe Tiger shrimp (opinions?) or low grade CBS (are they really that much harder, opinions? Experiences? I've read a lot on them, but I really don't feel like I know much.)
Perhaps an Asian Stone Cat (Hara jerdoni)-opinions? Experiences? Once again read a lot, but there's not much on them
Flora (or what I have currently):
rotala rotundifolia
java moss
java fern
Bacopa Carolina
Guppy Grass
Frogbit
Dwarf Sag
Anubais afezelii
Marimo Balls
Cardamine
Hyrogphila sp. 'Tiger'
Cabomba caroliniana
Crypt parva
Crypt ciliata
Wisteria

I'd love to hear your opinions/comments on things I know that I'm horrible when it comes to aquascaping and such so I know I'll need your ideas/help when the time comes.
Hopefully I'll get going on actually doing things in the next week or two!
