Re: [GSAS-Member] Recommendations for a nano or pico aquarium

["Betty Goetz" <haika@drizzle.com>]

Most of my tanks are in this category. I've had a colony of red cherry
shrimp in a 3 gallon set up here at work for several years now. No heater,
no filtration, clamp-on compact fluorescent, mostly java moss, java ferns,
a hornwort spring, some rotala sprigs. My favorite tank. I've kept a 5
gallon planted tank with sponge filter, no heater, and light strip with
Heterandria formosa but they slowly died off for unknown reasons. That's
the tank I entered in the home show last year. I got these tanks on sale
at foster & smith over the years. I think the most readily available are
6g Eclipse tanks, but I rarely use the filter tray. I usually pop a sponge
filter in there and run it off the same air pump as other tanks. One less
thing to plug into the wall.

I've kept galaxy rasboras & Boraras spp in larger tanks (10-12g) and they
seemed to like the room.
