Another small tank

**felix_fx2** · 23rd May 2011, 19:24

Small betta tank 3side black oyama

Flora;Normal hairgrass mix with glosso
Substrate: amazonia 2
Lighting: open daylight (picture is taken in house. Due to Block painting)

After a few days in door look at the glosso reaching out for light.

Should I add some grey slates behind?

It's currently inhabited by 3 cherry Shrimps. It's my future office tank.

I just removed the below Kurokinryu stone from my Nano to make space for DW.

From what I know it does not affect water parameters. The same type used often for aquascaping. I need the DW to help lower the pH due to unknown reason. Maybe I dose too much baking soda and now stuck in the soil.
Can let got to you at a small token. PM me if interested.

Jeff. Can confirm with me that nano is around iq3 size? My betta tank nano can fit inside my iq3 :/

**jeffteo** · 27th May 2011, 11:53

I think my Nano is slight bligger. My Nano is 20 cm x 20 cm x 25 cm 10 liters only.
Maybe bigger by 3 cm. What is the width of your betta tank?

I will take another photo of the rock with some common object for size reference. Size wise i try my best to measure as it is odd of very shaped actually. If lay down on the longer side will look like a 2D volcano mountain.

glosso easy to maintain not compare to those mosses??

Thanks

my suggestion would be some frogbite and a dw or bw

**mayton** · 6th Jun 2011, 14:08

why not a moss wall for background?

That came to my mind before.
Fission wall will be best, for now my eye power will be on my 3 feet tank which I just rescaped.

Nope, don't have air con at home.
It's my nano from outside the apartment. Indirect sunlight a it lies In the shade of the larger tanks.

Hmmm, you could try placing rocks tied with moss or some small driftwood pieces to add more depth IMO. It looks a little flat currently.

Hi, most local found plants don't need additional co2 as it already is from other factors. But proven fact most plants benefit from co2 injection.

Ask at bigger fish shop.
This tank cannot inject as too small, if I even try to, I think I'll be laughed at.
