Aquarium Advice FINatic
So i have allways wanted a 5 gal batta tank, and i have been talking to my folks and they have agreed to let me set one up... but not for a few months or so so i will have lots of time to prepare and make the right decisions on this tank.
5 or 10 gallons (havent chosen yet)
AC 20 HOB (will be running on a fully cycled 2 year old 65 gal prior to use on 5 or 10 gal)
Original Flourite (ugly color but i have 20 pounds not being used)
Lighting - No idea yet... might build my own hood with a DIY light, have some fun with it.
now plants - i really like dwarf baby tears, and i know they are tough to get going... i like a challenge so what is the best way to approche them?
a bigger plant or 2 for the back/middle? options? maybe a nice small rock and driftwood.
fish - betta i real nice one i hope
now could i have some shrimp in there? i really like the little fellas
maybe a mystery snail or nerite?
thanks, i have loads of time to plan this so all opinions and advice are welcome
