Jake's 15 Gallon Planted Tank

[I Love my fishies]

In your profile you say you have one tiger and one green barb? do you still have them? coz Barbs should be kept in a group of 6 or more defantly don't keep just one of each it can lead to real problems.

 

[jakeroberts]

no i dont have them anymore they died months ago

 

[AQUAKING]

Lool didnt see the moving to a bigger tank, but still get more corys

 

[jakeroberts]

well right now i have 2 but when i get the bigger tank i am going to get a group of about 5-6. also do you reckon rotalia would look any good in the back left hand corner

 

[jakeroberts]

anyone?

 

[RadaR]

Should look fine. Fill the back up more with the rotala and one other type of fast growing stem. Other than that the tank looks really good.

 

[jakeroberts]

thanks radar for anwsering my question. wat other stem plant would u reccomand

 

[RadaR]

No problem. You could give Bacopa monnieri a try. It never died on me and it is readily available.

 

[jakeroberts]

thanks i will try it i was also thinking of using riccia as a carpet do u reckon that would look any good

 

[RadaR]

Submerged riccia needs more light I'm afriad
Another 15W of light and you would be able to do it no problem.

 

[jakeroberts]

well would hairgrass do any good then as i cant fit another light under the hood it is cramped at the moment adding another one would make it even worse

 

[mlawson]

Hairgrass may work, but you may end up with it growing brown and not doing very well, which is what many people experience.

 

[jakeroberts]

thanks for the advice if hairgrass won't work do you guy's know of any carpet type plants that will work
