My 55 Gallon...

[StingrayKid]

I acutally put most of the ferns and one Anubius Nana in my new mini 5 gallon biotope I'm setting up. Any suggestions on inhabitants for this tank?

What are you looking into? Oddballs, normal fish? Honey gouramis would do well in a nicely planted 5 gallon

 

[StingrayKid]

New oddballs would be awsome. (But, no more DP's). What oddballs can I put in a 5 gallon?

If you could find them, freshwater bumblebee gobies (I've heard are rare) or peacock gudgeons would work. I think you would have an extremely hard time finding those in Maine though

I can order peacocks. How many could I put in there?

 

[Dwarfs]

3 or 4 They'd make a great alternative to PSG's They can get picky though, lucky62's only eat freeze dried bloodwoms and FD dafnia, no sinking foods and they will most likely refuse flakes They are great little fish, getting at max about 2 inches You sure the peacocks aren't saltwater?

Don't get me started on that woman. But, no, I'm ordering them over "Oddballfish.com" instead of dealing with the store.

Is that an online service or specifically to maine? I might check it out

 

[StingrayKid]

Nope, its an online sevice. Shipping is pricy for me though. The peacocks are $8 a peice, and its about $34 for the 2 day shipping. So, I'd end up spending like, $60 for them. I dont know if I will get them from this site...

back to the java fern discussion, as long as you don't bury the rhizome you should be fine. i had some planted in a sand substrate (just the roots) and it became a monster. i've already taken about 10 new plants off of it and it still was huge!

 

[StingrayKid]

The only reason I took the plants out was becuase my Servum was eating them. Otherwise, I would have kept them in there. Now, I put them in my 5 gallon, where the rhizome is above he wood and rock they are planted on.

, good luck with everything Stingray , to bad you couldn't find the peacocks in a shop , I paid close to the same money for 6 badis badis , I couldn't find them anywhere , and ordered them from live aquaria , and I haven't seen any of the peacocks in any shops since I bought mine , them I was able to find in a shop .

Hope it all works out for you .
