About Yourself:
I am 23 with a daughter whos almost two. I have always loved aquariums and fish and ahve kept many species but only recently started plaanted tanks. For so long i was put out with the idea of spending so much to grow plants but now i know you dont need to. And with a little time,trial and error and basically no income, i have a great tank!I am working on a planted 29 gallon now.
Fish Kept:
6 white cloud mt. minnows,1 rhinohorn goby, 3-4 pond minnows including sticklebacks a baby creek chub and a white sucker fry that will be moved to a larger tank as they grow.various snails,ghost shrimp, and 2 ottocinclus.
Corals/Plants:
Hygrofila difformis, red lotus,native hair grass, mystery native dwarf sword type plants,crypt undulatta,cardinal plant, native large leaf pondweed. native Riccia fluitans, native ludwigia repens.lemna minor, small bits of chara or native muskgrass.
Tank Size:
20 gallons
Advice:
You will sometimes find conflicting advice on keeping planted tanks(particularly lighting) but i have found that trial and error works well and you dont have to spend a lot to have lush plants. eg. my shop light!
