I'll start with the technical part.
Currently running
20G "garbage can" tank (Java moss and plant clippings)
29G musk turtle/ feeder guppy tank
40B planted community (fish- 8 ottos, 6 spotted cory, 10 rummy noses, 8 cardinals- I want 10 more, and taking suggestions for feature fish, though I'm thinking rams. Plants- apongeton crispus, dwarf clover, java fern, java moss, anubias)
220G goldfish/ hornpout tank
500G(?) Hot tub converted to red eared and yellow belly slider tank
I've kept fish since I was a kid. Had a period of 3 years that I bred fish for- cichlids and catfish mostly, tried stingrays because it pays a lot and I have the tank space but that was a giant "nope" experience. I now whole heartedly believe stingrays belong in the wild.
I am done with breeding and propagating plants and have scaled back to just having a hobby again. I've broken down all my tanks and have decided to keep my former apisto breeder turned plant propagation 40B and turn it into a low tech planted community tank.... That's what brings me here 😃 I've been away from the actual hobby for so long that I'm in need of some guidance on stocking and low tech growing.
I am still working on cleaning up the algae on the tank but I'll post a picture when the lights come on tomorrow.
Thanks for reading.
