I just set up a little 2.5 gal tank that Susan gave me with a betta and some Amano shrimp. I added dwarf hairgrass and java moss, floating water sprite, plus some random stem plant that I can't identify because after all these years, I still don't know jack about plants. The tank has a tiny Hydor preset heater and a Red Sea nano filter, with the flow turned down for the sake of the lazy betta. Lighting is from 2x 9W CFs in a fixture that used to be for my reef tank refugium. If the Amanos do OK, I will move them to my work tank and put in cherries. Thanks to recent posts here I have some ideas on why I have had bad luck with them before... fingers crossed. Later... maybe some CPDs. http://guest:guest@wrongcrowd.com:83 (If you get a security warning, tell it you trust the app. The webcam uses Java.) There's quite a bit of glare from the windows, but I'm getting new window coverings for the summer soon which should take care of that. _______________________________________________ GSAS-Member mailing list GSAS-Member@thekrib.com http://lists.thekrib.com/mailman/listinfo/gsas-member
