Hey everyone.
Finally finished setting up my 5.5 gallon planted tank today. I have been wanting to do something like this for a while now, and am excited to have it set up. The ultimate plan is to add some Red Cherry Shrimp or Yellow Sakura Shrimp and create a colony. I am waiting for the tank to become more established and finish purchasing my school of Microrasbora's. For now, here is the stocking list and specs:
Stocking List:
Six Boraras maculatus (aka Pygmy Rasbora, Dwarf Rasbora, Spotted Rasbora)
-Hopefully increasing the school to 10-12 soon
10 Red Cherry Shrimp/ Yellow Sakura Shrimp
Plants:
Baby Tears
Rotala indica
Marsilea hirusta
Java Fern
Riccia fluitans
Specs:
5.5 gallon tank
Finnex FugeRay Planted + Clip on LED
Flourish Black Sand
ZooMed Nano 10 canister filter
PenPlax Heater
I am dosing daily with Flourish Excel and weekly with Flourish Comprehensive. The lights are on for eight hours a day, but with a split photo period from 7a-11a, and 5p-9p.
