Hi FW fish keepers! Im setting up a 55 gallon FW tank and will be making it a biotope(Amazon). the list of equipment is:
-AquaClear 110 Power filter
-Black Hood with 1 54W T-5 bulb
-Fine ("Pea") Gravel for substrate
-1 large piece of driftwood as centerpiece
-Sock with peat moss in it
-10gal Q-tank
Animals will be(in order of introduction to tank)
-100's of cherry shrimp
-4 black-widow tets
-6 panda cories
-15 cardinal tets
-4 emperor tets
-2 baby angels (koi and original)
-2 german blue rams
plants will be:
-Java Moss(only non-amazon plant)will be placed on driftwood
-Several Amazon Swords as accents to centerpiece
-Foreground forest of Dwarf Sags
-Background Jungle of Corkscrew Vals
-1 Hornwort as the big tree of the background jungle
-several roseafolia as red accents to background jungle
my only problem is the roseafolia-ive heard they are very hard to keep. if so, can anybody recomend another tallish, red, yet hardy type of Amazonian Plant?
