The "pic-Off"; Dare To Be Small...

[lljdma06]

Hello everybody, My turn to go pico... I have answered the challenge...

Tank specs...

Dimensions: 2" tall x 1" diameter
Volume: ~15ml
Substrate: Tahitian Moon sand
Hardscape: Crushed slate
Flora: Myriophylum pinnatum (grown via tissue culture)
CO2: You think I should go pressurized?
Lighting: 1 LED reading light... Photo period; to be determined.
Ferts: Thinking about EI for this one, you know, 'cause of the stems...

Some pix for you... Taken w/ iPhone 4...

In the dark...

Shown here with iPhone 3G for scale...

I could see myself adding some floaters maybe, a sprig of moss. Not sure about livestock, though, maybe a lone daphnia, but I don't want to get flamed here. People at TFF flame you if you don't keep your lone male daphnia in at least 30ml. I don't agree, the tank is planted, I should be able to keep a lone male daphnia very happily. Don't you think?

[markandhisfish]

thats freakin insane!!!!! stocking wise id probably go for 6 corydora sterbai for the bottom , and a group of altums they look ace in a planted tank

 

[AstonN24vantage]

maybe you could fit an adult common pleco in there if you really wanted

 

[fluttermoth]

Oh, surely you could get a couple of goldfish in there; they only grow to the size of the 'tank' don't they?

Seriously though, that is cute.

I like it! It has a stranded island-esque feel to it especially in the dark.

Stocking an Oscar gets my vote!

You know what... I'm inspired. I have alot of jars left over from chutney making this year. I might see if I can find one to fashion together some sort of scape.
