Freshwater?

[Wilson]

Anybody keeping freshwater tanks? Starting a pico designer shrimp tank, ready to scape.

Looking for some pest-free plants, Christmas moss and anubias nana petite.

Nice, you can tie some java ferns to the branches to make it look like leaves

Gluing Christmas moss up top to achieve this look.




Anubias Nana petite for a little coverage around the base of the tree.


Possible dwarf hair grass to cover the soil later on.

I have a variety of plants in my 5 gallon puffer tank, although I guarantee a snail or two lol so I might not be your best option.

I found a dealer in the city, good prices. Should be picking them up this weekend to start planting. And the cycle begins. Hope to add the first livestock in 6 weeks or so.

Mine just setup. Still need a few more plants. Not doing co2 now but I might later.

Nice clean scape. I'm going low tech too.

The idea is that the center of the tank will be full of needle java fern. Without CO2 it will be difficult to keep the sand clean and java fern growing fast. Will try Excel first.
