It looks real nice!
A school of Boraras spp?
This is by far the smallest of my tanks - 18 cm. I think I'll do a jar next.... just thinking.
Anyway it's a very tiny 18 x 12 x 15 (L x B x H) cm, barely filling about 3 litres.
I've got it as a temporary home for my betta.
Now I've put in some small Java ferns and assorted rocks.
Are there any other suggestions for small plants and layout?
Do note that I can remove some of the java ferns and relocate them.
I intend for this to be a low tech tank, but I may consider getting a fan.

Here's another shot...

for such a small tank.. the java fern is too large.. try another plant with smaller leaves.
or maybe you can tie moss on pebbles and wait for it to grow thick and nice?![]()

its a smaller variant of java with textured leaves
its quite a nice looking plant to me
i don't think its commonly sold in shops... only see it once evry now and then
try y618...saw some there 3 weeks back
if they don;t have it in stock can order from them
their supplier has it
costs a high single digit sum for a small pot/bunch
don;t expect to get one big bunch like normal java
Hi Sunfire, another plant called Anubias barteri var. nana 'Petite' http://www.tropica.com/default.asp is also suitable for your nano tank.
It looks like this now...I wrapped 3 stones with moss and put them there. It'll take at least a month to grow out.
There are one to two "flowers" of HC sprouting below, I put them there too.
The tank has no fauna yet, I haven't thought of what to put in.
Temp: 27.5
Fan 24 hrs
Fert - Aquatilizer 1 drop weekly + Seachem Excel 1 drop every other day
why not get C02 tablet? that will fasten the growth of the moss.. btw what moss u warped it?
Moss don't need that much CO2...besides Seachem Excel would do.
The moss I wrapped is a mixture of spiky moss and Taiwan moss.

Anyway I've got lots of time. Will update.
ya.. but Co2 will let the moss grow thick and long..
btw.. seachchem excel i intended to get.. how much for 1? and how long can i use it ?
do update us on your moss when grown out![]()

Hows your tank now bro? =)
For a small tank, you can get away with a quarter cap per week or less, but you definitely need to dose within a week. You can get the 2L bottle at NA, that will save alot of your cost.
Saw the java 'philippine' variant at Y618 today. Looks good.
4 mths later, the moss has grown out to nice trianglar fronds. I bought some cherry shrimps at the store in Rivervale mall. Some stray strands of hairgrass too. Not very nice looking but rather maintenance free.
