So, after the tank cycled I let one of the ADF's loose and quickly found out that it wasn't going to work. It managed to dig up about half of the floramax and uproot the plants. Now they remain in the 20g qt until I figure something else out. Good news is now I have a 3g to play with and I have the shrimp itch (that sounds bad).
I've recently had some inspiration to rescape this tank and add all dwarf plants for scale. I also want to do AS instead of mgocpm capped with floramax. It takes up to much space to run that type of substrate in such a small tank.
It'll be pretty cool to work on such a micro build but I need some help.
First, this is going to be my first time with shrimp. What are a good, colorful, and hardy species to start with? How many is too much for 3g?
Second, is there a good list of micro plants anywhere? I'll be building an adjustable base to raise and lower the Fugeray-R for better light control. Substrate will be AS with NPK, micro, and iron being dosed (unless shrimp are sensitive to any of that). Non-co2, just weekly water changes.
I'll be researching a lot of this too in the next week but the advice is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
