Alright getting a new tank want to see what options I have. I had another thread but things have changed and it was just to confusing to keep up with. So here is my new, revised, detailed thread. Ill start with tank setup:
Semio Walstad style tank. I am not going to have a top on this tank it will be by a window with little to no extra light. I am using floramax as substrate (may throw in some gravel and left over ecocomplete and a handful of crushed coral for calcium). I am not planning on having any decor basically. I will have a piece of floating driftwood and several houseplants in the tank. I have pothos vine to hang in the tank (roots only obviously). I am gonna try some lucky bamboo tentatively. I am definetly gonna get some umbrella palm to add (again roots in substrate leaves above water). I also have an unidentified vine that will be going in. Water changes will be rare in keeping with walstad style.
Stocking wise here is what I was thinking:
*If the tank is 10 gallons:
Betta, snails, shrimp, kuhli loaches.
or
Pea puffers, shrimp, and snails
or
Scarlet Badis, shrimp, ottos, maybe something else?
or
crayfish
*If its a 20 long (all above ideas are still applicable):
Peacock grudgeons (not sure what to keep them with)
or
freshwater pipefish with red cherry shrimp
or
Glass catfish (with?)
or
crayfish
So thoughts ideas or suggestions are welcome. I am not limiting myself to the above ideas!
*I understand the rish of shrimp with other fish
Thanks in advance and God bless!
