Banana split

ikuzo · 07-03-2007, 04:03 PM

this is what i made for my girlfriend.
20x15x15cm
10 watts fluorescent light
anubias nana
java moss
3 ramshorn snails
5 red cherry shrimps

after 1 month

moss growth, with some hitchhiker pelia

there's absolutely no water movement. i got lots of problems during the 1st week. slimy water surface and tank walls. 75% water changed twice a week during this period, after that once a week.

Is that a kritter keeper?

a small sponge filter will do you wonders, hide it behind the wood.

ikuzo · 07-05-2007, 02:06 AM

yes the tank is the plastic one that usually come with a hood for little creature pets. i doubt if i can add a filter to this one, it's just too small for anything.

those critter keeper things are 1 gallon? o.O

looks nice.

ikuzo · 11-03-2007, 03:23 AM

lol i haven't update this thing for 4 months

at the 3rd month, java moss are growing crazy, anubias has about 9 leaves, shrimps breed like crazy. currently i removed all of the java moss and pelia, put some fissidens singapore and christmass moss there.

cool....wish i had shrimps breeding like crazy.

got any pics? is it still an unflitered tank?

ikuzo · 11-20-2007, 01:20 AM

umm yeah, but someone still got my camera on hold...
it's still unfiltered, 50% water change once a week. very slight algae on glass.

the christmas moss is stunned. very little growth but not dying at all. i guess it needs more light than my 10 watts fluorescent. flame moss and fissidens singapore did well there..
