Hello All! In a few months I will be geting a 20-23 gallon tank with Tetra 10-30i filter and heater and I need help choosing which plants will work best for me. I have posted all the information I think yall will need below. I have no problem with the extra work required for fast growing plants. However, I'm trying to avoid slow growing ones because of algea. Please note if the plant is edible or any other tidbits. I appreciate all the help. I would do all the footwork myself, but searching is tough on my Kindle :-/
Facts: The tank will be stocked with female Bettas (sisters raised together) and Kuhli Loaches and/or Otos (most likely Kuhlis as I can't find a lfs that sells Otos). Although my decision about how to stock my tank is mostly made, I am open to suggestions as long as they are Betta compatable.
The lightbulbs I have are 550Lumens/6500K.
My fert is API Leaf Zone Plant. It's a liqid and the only one avaliable in my area.
I will be atempting to get a glass tank in long dimentions
PWCs are done religiously
Water Stats: Soft (can't find exact number). pH is 6 straight from tap, 6.8 after treated and sitting out for 2 days, and 6.6 in tank.
*Additional Question: What would be a good substrate for this setup? Please include type and brand
