Trial And Error

It would simply be a case of replacing the 2ft with the 2.5ft. I have it all planned out already.

The plan would be to have a base layer of aquatic compost, then a thin layer of sphagnum moss and some osmocote chucked about then finally a top layer of cat litter. Then plant away until the tank was packed solid... again!! Then upgrade to my 3ft... then a 4ft...

Sounds like a top plan to me mate!

The problem is my plans never get stuck to.

 

[Jay1983]

Well if you come up with something new, you'd have the 2ft for that then!!

Stick to your plan. And then once all is transferred to the 2.5ft you can make the 2ft a multis tank

Yeah!!!!!!!!!

Might fish my Shrimp out and put em in a little 13L tank that i have got so i can add some fishies to this tank.

That kind of narrows it down to Cardinals though.

ATM i am considering

8 Checker Barbs
8 Serpae Tetras

But which do i choose?

serpaes in a planted tank look great, they are just angry feckers

Yeah i know... Thats what has kept me from making a definative decision. I would hope that with 8 (maybe 10??) aggression would be kept to a minimum and with no other tank mates (maybe a plec of some sort though?) they would probably be ok?

 

[Jay1983]

I'd get as large a group as possible but wouldn't like to say how many although i'm sure 10 would be fine

Thoughts on Checker Barbs then?
