    I went to search for the elusive spider root

    I saw a Boyu on display probably 15 liters big with a CFL and filter built into the cover(and is a style full beautiful tank)
    This tickled ny imagination for a nano planted tank or if there is a heater that small ?. A pair of really nice Paradise fish or something beautiful(I love malawis)

    So any suggestions for this type of tank
    Does anyone have one ?
    What type of fish will you suggest ?

    Or should I Mcgyver it and run a sump and a heater with a lot of filtration an put apistos in ?

    Strangely, a love for malawis, and a love for planted tanks seldom mix.
    Also, a tank that small would not hold Malawis, or apisto's.

    Yes, there are heaters that small, Sera has some pretty neat ones at an affordable price.
    Google planted nanos, you'll find plenty of ideas(a moss nano is always a hit)
    Fishwise, small schooling fish, or maybe a betta or a few endlers. Nothing bigger could comfortably live in a tank like that.

    kind regards
