I love how saltwater tanks are so alive. Like everything is alive. In every corner and every tiny crack in the rock sand everything some little crab shrimp or snail is busy doing crab shrimp or snail things.
Unfortunatly for those of us who dont have the time to upkeep a saltie tank we are limited. However I want to try and build a tank like this in freshwater!
Here is the proposed plan:
20 gallon tall aquarium
Dirt with gravel floramax ecocomplete cap
Live plants EVERYWHERE
Some rocks and driftwood
Stock:
Thai micro crabs
Neo shrimp
Cpo
Golden clam
Filter feeding shrimp
Mts
Assassin snails
Hillstram loaches
Stiphon gobies
A pair of badis (in debate currently)
I figure this would make for a VERY lively tank! I think everything is compatable.
My main question is about the badis. I would like a pair of say blue badis. Would they eat the small inverts? I like them because the last badis I had was a different species and he lived in a cave we made. It was very cool to see his head sticking out of the cave. I will have a cave obviously
So suggestions and thoughts welcome!
Thanks and God bless!
