So, I finally got plants for my little 5.5 gallon and have put them in. THe aquascaping isn't QUITE perfect yet, but we'll get there. I have a 14 (or 16?) watt light so I'm seeing how i do with low-med light plants, instead of just low light plants like in my 20 gallon.
Anyway, I have a couple questions:
1) Best place to find small pieces of driftwood? The smallest they had at the fish store would have taken up (or looked like it was taking up) most of the tank! (i checked it by placing it in an empty 5.5 gallon at the store).
Would something found at a lawn and garden store be safe to use if i clean it first?
2) I'm letting the plants settle for a few days/a week before I put my betta in, should i be doing anything else for them? I added some Flourish (would flourish excel be better?) Should I do anything else?
I'll post pictures later!
thanks!
