Aquarium Advice Addict
I created this bog type aquarium by siliconing rocks into a 20 long turtle tank. The soil is 1/2 dried spaghnum moss and 1/2 sand. My original intention was to keep carnivorous plants. However, my seal on my rocks was not good enough and the soil is too wet for carnivorous plants. So . . . I've improvised. The pool is only about 2" deep, and I keep a good population of pond snails and guppies. I've hatched numerous stoneflies and other aquatic insects in this tank with my students, but I'm looking to improve the aquascaping/plantings. It's only a 12" tall tank, so no room for tall specimens. I'm thinking of adding an orchid to the log - have one that should work. I would like ID's on the plants (if possible), advice on additional plants (both aquatic and bog) that could be added, and any other advice in general. Sorry for the quality of the pictures, I was hurrying to get them taken and downloaded between classes. This is the one and only planted tank I've ever tried.
