Haven't had a planted tank in a year now. Starting Jan I would like to do a nano planted tank. I'll probably set-up my 3g pictope again but want to do something really really small and cool. Have any ideas?
Depends on how small you want to go and what you want to keep it in.
My picos have ranged from a 1"x1"x2.5" with mini ramshorns, to a breeding pair of cherry shrimp in the bowl of a small wineglass, to planted vases bowls ranging from .5 to 3g holding various shrimp, snails, nano-fish and a couple of times brackish water setups for crabs.
Here's my version of the selfsame tank. You're probably gonna want to upgrade the lamp to get superlative plant growth. Other than that, its a great little tank.
Just set it up today. Water was clearing up pretty fast. Put a nice piece of drift wood in the middle planted some dwarf hair grass and dropped in a fluval moss ball. I'll fill the water up to the top when I'm doing moving stuff around.
Filter stopped working on it. Figures it was only a matter of time with that piece of junk. Guess now it'll be no filter and I don't plan on getting one for this tank. Planted some bacopa in the back and put a different piece of driftwood from my other tank.
Had to take out one of the dario dario the other one had been bullying it chasing it around the tank. Put him in a little container don't know if he'll make it he was already looking bad when i got him.
How are your Dario Dario doing? Getting them to eat regularly was the biggest problem I had when I first got mine. Once I put them with malawa and RCS shrimp, they started breeding for me.
