Bettascape

[SimplyGreen]

As this is my very first post I would like to start by saying a massive hello to everyone!!

Well after experimenting with reef aquariums I have decided that planted aquaria are definitely for me so today whilst I was out at my LFS I picked up a Superfish Home 25 aquarium. It came with all the tricks; filter, heater and LED lighting. I also got some colombo florabase, aquascaping rock and a small piece of mopani wood.

The plan is to plant it with many low-light species and have it home a betta and possibly some cherry shrimp

Anyway enough chatter here are some pictures

The tank after being cleaned and positioned:

Filling her up:

I am going to pick up some plants shortly, anubias and java ferns probably. Does anyone know a low-light foreground plant?

Thanks for reading this far! Comments always welcome

very nice, a betta might eat cherry shrimp though have you considered amanos?

 

[SimplyGreen]

yeah amano's do a great job of cleaning up but I wanted a shrimp that was a little showier

So yesterday I decided I would try out a new lfs and came home with some plants

In there there is some anubias nana, some crypts, s.repens, dwarf hairgrass (or something similar looking) and a taller stem plant

heres some new pics to show how the tanks looking so far:

Let me know what you guys think
