	Who wants to pick my plants?
djtj Fish Master Posts: 1764 Kudos: 885 Votes: 49 Registered: 20-Feb-2003	Tank: 20 gallon long (30"x12"x12" ) Stocking list: 8 Apistogramma agassizii or Apistogramma borellii 3 ottos 6 hatchetfish filters: aquaclear 30 and whisper mini (submersiable) I definitely want to have a long piece of driftwood in the back of the tank. I plan on siliconing rocks on it to hold it down as well as a few "branches" in order to hide my various equipment. I also need some kind of large centerpiece plant in the middle to give both apistogramma species their own territory. Does anyone have any plants in mind? Last edited by djtj at 04-Aug-2005 15:53

That’s a lot of fish, are you sure that you would like to do this? Ingo Proud Member of the New Jersey Aquatic Gardeners Club

Also, I thought i said to drop the gouramis and phantoms? Or have you not updated this thread yet? right now that stock is looking like a problem for your tank.

I also added the filters. And as for plants, Mr. wesolowski is helping me in the aquascaping forum. He knows of a few different plants that might be able to survive in sand. So, this thread really doesn't serve a purpose for me (However, that doesn't mean other people can't read it and learn from it) Anyone who want's the contine the topic (I'd really appriciate it ) go to aquascaping.
