Hi,
My 2nd tank & its a planted one. I had to go through a lot of research for this, cause I did not want any CO2 or even lights. Tank size: 2 foot (15 gallon) Livestock: Neon Tetra, Celestial Pearl Danio, Albino Cory, Khuli Loach & Yamato Plants: Taiwan Moss, Java Moss, Java Fern, Watersprite & Hornwort Any comments or advice? ![]() |

It's good looking, but I am curious, u said u did research, so many plants together won't be dying from lack of CO2?

Thanks. I looked for plants that are slow growing. The mosses & java fern are doing fine. I had to trim them like 2-3 weeks ago. The hornwort and watersprite are also doing well. I had plants that died on me though. My livestock is moderately well-stocked. I guess the fish provide the CO2 required.
I guess I also followed a bit of the Diana Walstad method. I feed the fish a bit liberally and I guess the fish and the plants feed each other. |

No light mean means no additional lamps/bulbs etc. They are just on a "natural" diet of ambient sunlight.

So far my the plants are growing well. I don't see any algae problems. I got ottos inside and they seem to be managing it. I guess the plants take the nutrients from the fish waste well and it helps that it's beside a window without direct sunlight.
