I had a 10g divided betta tank, but the bettas in that tank took so well to bowl life in Miami that I moved them to bowls up here, leaving me a 10g with only one betta and three bridget rasboras to play with.
Quick stats:
Substrate: Gravel with some root tabs near the cryptocrynes
Lighting: One 24" T-5 28W fixture with 6700k bulb, so 2.8 WPG
CO2: Nutrafin defuser with a DIY mix, changed weekly. Was at 18.6ppm, not great but better than it was before I changed the mix today. Shooting for 25ppm on this tank since algae was never a big deal on this one.
Ferts: Dose twice a week. I need to buy nitrate.
Plants: Cryptocryne wendtii (green, red and bronze), and lutea, some wisteria, some other type of hygro, h. polysperma, some glosso as an experiment that probably won't work, one barclaya longifolia that I can't find right now, and four anubias anchored to driftwood. One anubia barterii, and two petit nana, but the other one is odd. I'm sure it's a petite nana, but it's rather on the large side, but it doesn't look like a regular nana either. Tomorrow, I can zoom in and get a better picture of it.
Here's the tank before the change after I cleaned it of the same yuckiness that plagued my 15g after my trip to Miami.
And here is the tank after I changed everything around. I wonder what I can put in it? The betta is going to be moved, and 3 tiny bridget rasboras equal like one fish. Decisions, decisions, I'll post in Chit Chat to get some imput.
Looking forward to this one, I think it looks really cute right now and I love the driftwood and the anubia arrangement. Hopefully they'll just attach to the wood and then I can just transport them with the driftwood.
