Hallo!
I have a 29 gallon tank thats needs a little filling in. I plan on keeping two or three goldies in there and was wondering what I should buy to "flesh out" the 'scape...
For substrate I have about an inch and a half of black flourite sand and a half inch of red eco-complete gravel...the red eco-complete has been in that tank for upwards of six months. But the black is new.
As for plants...I have (for now) relatively low wattage at about .7 WPG.
I have the lid that came with the tank, which is a single strip 24"...and the largest wattage I can find is 20 watts for that size. But I'm planning on upgrading to 60 watts sometime within the next few months.
As for plants, I have the following:
1 twelve inch amazon sword thats a bit tattered that I got from my friend
2 clippings of moneywort, also from the friend
1 rather piddly patch of four leaf clover
2 4-5 inch anubias plants
1 small lace java fern
& 1 tenish inch jungle val.
So I was wondering, as a planted tank newbie..what you all here at the lovely plantedtank.net had to say about other plants that would look nice/complement the ones I've purchased thus far.
And yes, I know the chances of plants staying all pretty and nice are low...but I figure if I plant densely it should reduce the ammount of nibble marks...or at least those visible...
Any planted tank advice in general would be mucho appricated...I wont say I have a knack for killing plants...but I wont say I have a knack for growing them either :hihi:
thanks a bunch!
