PLANNING TANK #2
As I mentioned in my post with photos, I'm planning on a new tank now that I've cut my chops on my very first 10g, which, so far, is quite successful.
I've decided on a few changes to the original plan:
I'm going to go with a 3-gallon tank and reserve the 2g tank I bought for hospital purposes. Unlike the 2g, the 3g has a bulb, which will be important for the Riccia if I can get my hands on it
I've decided to go with 1 or 2 Amano shrimp. The main focus of this tank is the plant life, so I'll focus on actual livestock later.
I do not plan on putting a Betta, as originally planned, in this tank.
Following are a couple of sketches of planting ideas:

| Christmas Moss is planted vertically by tying it to plastic mesh that suction cups hold to the back of the tank. Riccia also fixed to plastic mesh on a bed of flourite. | Japanese Dwarf Rush grows tall and thick in background. Middleground driftwood covered in Mini Moss, surrounded by a bed of Micro Sword. |

Except for where noted, H. Andrew Lynch owns every bloody word on this site, so go fish. |
