    Hi

    I am planning to start a nano tank of about 3.5l with plants. The water temperature was constantly hovering around 28.5°c to 30°c and PH 7.6.

    Any recommendation of what plants can I grow in there.

    Went to a fish store and the uncle was friendly. He told me that the plant I choose shld be able to survive with normal temperature.

    Hope my new tank setup will do fine until the betta or shrimp or dwarf crayfish come in. 😁

    Most probably will just get 5 crystal red shrimps as the tank look really small for the betta to swim around.

    Hope so. Added a fan today. It managed to bring down the temperature to abt 27°c. Also replaced the sponge filter to a smaller version.

    I am using this dennerle scaper's green high-performance fertiliser. Dosing at about 2 drops on the first day. Maybe will dose 2 drops every week to see how it goes.

    Well I always feel that the plants do better with lower temp.

    You mentioned CRS, they don't survive long in room temperature that's why people invest in chillers.

    With that fan you have now, cherry shrimp would be better.

    cherry shrimp will do just fine with room temp. your fan probably can reduce by 1 degree. dont make any big difference if u ask me
