Hello fish folks. I'd like to start by saying thank you to this community for all the input on my posts over the last couple of months.
As some of you may have gathered. I'm researching the heck out of my next project because it's very new to me. Iv been watching MD Fish Tanks on you tube a lot and have fallen in love with the beautiful neocaridina planted tanks he sets up. I have an empty 15 gallon fluval flex. Iv settled on root tabs, ecocomplete capped with black sand. I'm going to put a spiky moss wall against the back. I'd like to get some suggestions on plant choices. The more reaserch I do the more overwhelmed I get. This is a low tech set up. I have a CO2 system that I'm not using that I might pop on the tank to get the plants established before the shrimp go in. Bit after that no additional co2.
So medium light easy begginer friendly plants. I'm trying to find an easy carpeting plant. Then some taller root feeding plants in the back. I'd like to have a lush feeling to it. Medium to Heavily planted. Large piece of malaysian drift wood from another tank going in the middle as a focus point.
Any suggestions on plants, placement of plants. Aquascaping ideas are very welcome.
The whole point of this tank is that the plants will do some of the work for me and keep my shrimp happy and breeding like bunnies.
