	Starting a 2.5 minibow
benny25 Small Fry Posts: 14 Kudos: 13 Votes: 0 Registered: 17-Apr-2005	Edited by benny25 I will be starting a 2.5 gallon minibow tank shortly. The tank will heated but not filtered and I am not sure of the wattage of the light but I wish to put a small live plant in there. What small, easy to take care of plants would be a good choice for my aquarium?
