New set up!

[Elwynn]

So we moved and the whole set up that I had did not make it. Good thing I was not really happy with it. We will be moving again so i'm trying to keep things simple so I don't have to start all over again. I would love to add plants but have no clue what to add so if you guys have ideas please share!

Should I drop the water level more? There is a small carbon filter on the left behind the tower.

Water level looks good. Maybe some plants for cover? Good setup!

Hi Elwynn,

It looks great, seems like they're enjoying it. I've started adding some plants and last week I got one at a local independent pet store--I'd much rather give them my money than the big chains...

Anyway, the frog & toad person recommended a couple of plants including the one I'm attaching a pic of--he called it a mini banana plant--sorry didn't ask it's formal name--but I really like it. I'm attaching a pic. It looks like a mini bunch of green bananas with a plant growing out of it. You don't have to plant it--just drop it in the water & the 'bananas' act like a little anchor, but you can move it around. The leaves are like small lily pads & thay adapt to the depth of your water.

Thanks Jude I will look into them!

any updated pics of any land area, shading, plants and how you prevented all the the cricket drowning loss into the setup?
