20 Gallon Long Planted Tanganyikan Tank

jeffs99dime · 12-04-2012, 07:25 PM

Here is my 20 long shell dweller tank- Multifasciatus and White Calvus. In the tank I have several Java ferns and some Marimo Moss (algae) balls. My question for all you plant people is what other plants do you think I need in there (lowlight.) I've been dosing Flourish once a week and have and Aqueon modular led fixture X3 bulbs. 10000k and 1 colormax.

I always like Anubias nana. Very nice low light plant

Also I'm loving the tank. Been wanting to setup a shell dweller tank for a while.

There are TONS of low light plants! Most stem plants, for one. One low light plant im loving and currently have four of is banana plants. My first one has leaves almost three inches wide! I also have aponogetons. Look these guys up! Theres a few species, and they all look different, but grow about the same. Fast and green!
