Firstly, hi to everyone on the forum. My first thread, so be gentle 😉
I've got a 275L tank which will be getting filled fairly soon, but I want to have a plan before I start. It's 3'6" wide, 2'6" tall, and 12" from back to front. As it's relatively tall (and I don't initially want to go for the complexity and expense of CO2), I am aware I will probably be a little limited on plant choice.
At the bottom / front of the tank I'd like a slow growing plant like a carpet (though I have nothing specific in mind yet), and as for fish at the bottom of the tank I'd lke Kuhlis and something similar to a small plec. But having read some of the guides on planted aquaria (including on this forum) I am not sure whether such fish will be compatible with carpet style planting.
Are Kuhlis and any small plec like fish worse at uprooting this sort of plants?
