same thing: just consider lighting and co2. if none, then you end up going with low light plants.
if got, then just put foreground type plants.
foreground plants don't need much light ?
ya.. I got a small tank too abt 1.5ft for keeping shrimp.. and I just add some moss and cover the whole of the tank bed...put the tank next to a windows.. and till today (aft 1 month)... the moss is growing and the shrimp are happy
Tank 1.5ft
No light (use natural sunlight)
Ehiem 2006 (small internal filter)
Temp maintain at 26degree (cos' it air-con)
you're in for some trouble mate. a tank should never be placed next or near a window. natural sunlight will eventually increase algae growth and you'll have a outbreak of algae. do you have any of those table lamps? if not you can use that as well. plants like java moss dun need much light. in fact, i used to keep some java moss without lights for a 2months and nothing happened.
Are there pictures.. don't see them.
Since you got natural sunlight, your plants will be ok (depending on what plants you have). As mentioned, a table lamp will do fine. Juz make sure it's a florescent table lamp. Those incandescent type will be too warm.
