Starting a planted tank.

Don't worry I'll find them a better home. I'm about to turn on the uv light on the filter.

Thank you. Blue rams would be a good choice, but how long has the tank been established exactly?

Also, you should provide more structure (plants, wood, rocks) if you really want rams.

Oh about a few weeks. I used the filter from my 10g and fake plants from it too. I will look for some drift wood in the creek by my mothers house.

Plants I'll be ordering next Friday. I'll also be setting up diy co2 even though they don't require co2 but they will grow nicer with it. Bought some airline tube, yeast and a check valve. What mixture should I do with a 1.89l bottle?
1o-Rotala sp green
10-Marsilea minuta -carpet plant
2-Cabomba purple - best chance for color
1/2 portion -flame moss
10-rotala colorata
1-anubias nana
4-medium baby tears
2-ludwigia repens and palustris

I have been using root tabs and eco complete must really work well you can see how fast that new leaf grew over night. Here is a pic of the plants with no co2 and here is a pic of my diy co2 setup it's not done yet but I'll get it up sometime this week.

Got the co2 hooked up now we play the waiting game. The spray bar must off got a little air in it because it went off all crazy that's why there are a bunch of bubbles.
