Hello all,
As my experience with plants tends towards the Rhizomed variety with an occasional Lysimachia thrown in, I thought I would ask for some suggestions.
The tank is a 100L 71 x 31 x 46H CM and my plan will be for it to eventually house some Golden yellow sakuras; and the desired result would be to have a low tech planted tank with them.
Substrate is Modano which is a nice JBL clay based inert that pulls excess nitrates from the water column. According to my background reading.
My thoughts are Staurogyne repens, Juncus repens, Eleocharis pusilla, Pogostemon erectus, Limnophila sesiliflora as well as bacopa and rotala rotund.
Plan is to dose with shrimp friendly TNC as per directions but that's as far as I've got.
I've always played it ultra safe with plants and shrimp but would really like to see if I can encourage some simple but effective basic plants in a low tech environment that will allow some lovely coloured shrimps to live and even flourish.
Hopefully someone with experience will share their own methods or past results.
thanks in advance,
Allan
