Reintro and advice on nano planted tank

Hey Guys

Quick reintroduction as I haven't been on Tasa for a couple years:
I've got 5 tanks running. One 4ft with African Chiclids and the other three for my Kribensis breeding (Currently have about 60 fry at various stages of development).

I've recently obtained a small 20l tank for my desk. Planted with Java Fern, micro-sword and Valis. Currently stocked with 10 white clouds. No heating nor do I really want to. I won't be adding Co2 but will be fertilizing.

I still need to add course natural gravel in the centre (lowest region) to create a path effect.

Let me know what you guys think. Would like to get some movement in the mid and bottom water sections so any suggestions for suitable small sub-tropical fish would be great!

 

Awesome aquarium!

 

Very nice!
Im also looking for mid and bottom dwelling species with the tempreture tolorance of the white clouds that would be suitable for a nano.

 

I like! It looks clean and fresh.

Have a look at Galaxy Rasbora (celestial pearl danio)

 

An update on my tank...

Added pebble bed in the centre... unfortunately I ran out of pebbles so one or two gaps in the front which will be filled.

Still have the same inhabitants, considered Pepper Corys but think it'll be too small for them once they are fully grown. Those Galaxy Rasbora look amazing but I can't find them anywhere in Durban and surrounds?

It fulfills the task of creating a calming influence in my work space so may keep at as is.

Those Galaxy Rasbora look amazing!

 

i like the stones makes a huge difference

 

Thanks! I think so too... has more of a zen feeling to it

 

Updated photo.... Cory's are responsible for most the rescap!

Going to give it an overhaul next week.

 

Panda Cories should be fine with the temp and they don't grow as big as the
Peppered Cories. Else loo at the Pygmy Cories with regards to the size of your tank
