Hello, I am new here and have been reading up a little on planted tanks and have been inspired to start up one and see how it goes.
I have a 5 or 6 gallon cube tank that I will be adding LED lights which should be plenty for a planted tank.
I am having difficulties figuring out what to add for livestock into this tank. I have order eco-complete substrate and I may add some small pieces of driftwood (if I can find any) for hiding places for the fish.
As far as fish go, I made a fish wish list (I know I cannot have all of these and that is where you guys come in! to help me narrow my list and let me know if something will not be compatible).
I really would like these:
1 Hillstream Loach (for cleaning algae)
5 Cardinal Tetra
3 Von Rio Flame Tetra
1 Dragon Female Betta (blue)
5 Salt and Pepper Cory?
Are all the fish okay with shrimp and plants?
Another question, can you add multiple kinds of shrimp to a nano tank? I really like the crystal red shrimp, but i also like the yellow/gold colored shrimp too. If I had to pick just one kind I would stick with the CRS.
As far as plants go, I really want Dwarf Baby Tears to fill the bottom of the tank, I also really like Anubia nana petite and plan to put it near the back of the tank.
Do you think this would work?
Thanks so much for your time!
