So i dont know what to do with it, i dont want bettas atm cause ie no luck with them,...
right now that tank is holding a male betta which is my uncles who gave it it to me yesteday while hes on a 1 week vacation, it was in a 1 gallon unfiltered bowl, so i said what the heck ill put it in my filtered empty barebottom 2 plants 2 gal hex for the week to enjoy its stay at my house...
But after that i dont know what to put in it..
im thinking of a ghost shrimp tank...
Is it okay for them to be i nthere with hte elite stingray filter?

id do amano shrimp but....... there $10 CAD each at petsmart...... and i dont have that much money..
anywho are ghost shrimp cool? i used ot own a few for a few weeks before they got eaten lol..
 
I would prefer substrate and a live plant or two. I feed my snails cucumbers and zuccini. The ghost shrimp will eat regular flake food and algae waffers, at least mine do.
 
Yeah, I'd agree on 6 shrimp and 2 snails. I feed my MTS algea wafers, but haven't had any experience with shrimp. I also think planting would look nice, maybe with sand substrate...
 
I wouldn't put two Mysteries in there. They're be quite big in comparison to the tank, and create quite some waste as well.
 
but i need ot somehow modify hte lighting in that tank however since its only a 7 watt incandecent(the kind for nite lights) , i saw some good priced at an lfs on some java fern, whats some otehr easy to grow plants?
Anyone in AB selling Java moss and willing to send? : P

If you're in Calgary, just go up to Pisces, it's like three or four dollars for a cup of Java Moss, they also have some others mosses as well.
 
aww boo
im up in edmonton... lol
i should hitch aride back to calgary after my cousins wedding next week haha, my parents are down there too atm .. i cant go cause ofsummer school right now...
But i need to do somethign about lighting any clues?
 
I agree with dizzied dizzied.
Two mystery snails in there is either going to lead to very high maintainance or very dirty water...you may want to reconsider -_- .
 
Sorry to hi-jack the thread but i'll be in Calgary in one week. I want to find some good fish stores. I know River Front is pretty good, what others would you recommend?
