New to everything!!!!!

Hello Everyone!!

I'm new to the forum and new to fish keeping... Any help or suggestions are more than welcome.
I currently have an AquaH2O tank (70long, 60high, 45wide) with a sump filtration system.
It has been running for about two months now and I have not yet had any trouble.
I currently have these following fish:

2 x Guppies
2 x Balloon Mollies
2 x Scissor Tails
5 x Angels (3 of them are Koi Angels)
1 x Rainbow Shark
5 x Neon's

I want to get more plant's as well... Any suggestions?

Like I said I'm new to all of this... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Hey hey Welcome to TASA Nadia! Solex69 is great with plants...I'm sure he'll help you out with suggestions (you may have to google the common name though - he tends to 'swear' at you with all those scientific names :wink: LoL

 

Hehehe... Will do. Thank you!!

 

Nadia, I personally would go for Vallisneria. Thats what i've got in my setup. However you might go for anything of your choice. I would suggest Java Fern and vallisneria. Don't rush though get a little at first. Vallisneria grow quite well and will give off new shoots if under the correct conditions.

 

Plants I will always recommend to anyone are:

Limnophila Sessiliflora or Heterophylla
Hygrophila Polysperma
Hygrophila Corymbosa
Najas Guadalupensis
Microsorum Pteropus
Anubias Barteri var.nana
Ceratopteris Cornuta
Ceratopteris Silliquosa

I can go on with more plants but it all comes down to what you like & prefer. But it also depends what you can find there by LFS your side. Whenever you come closer to CPT side, gimme a shout and I'll give you some plant cuttings to get started.

Cheers
Dale

 

welcome to TASA nadia

 

Hi Dale. Thank you very much! I'm in Cape Town almost every weekend.

 

HI Nadiak - Veegal told you that Solex69 wouls "swear" at you about the plants - well there is the proof.
he knows his plants and will always give good advice on them.. If you visit check out his Angels

 

lol, I know a little bit about plants but I'm very far from an expert still

Nadia - Let's discuss via PM when you can come around

Cheers
Dale
