Default new microtope

made a new tiny planted tank last night



The holding area is roughly a 2.5-3"cube
Ada aquasoil (amazonia II) mixed with a little eco-complete
a sprinkle of natural gravel for color
A few tiny pieces of slate
driftwood branches
And a couple of java ferns

Now sitting on my desk at work, getting Lots of sunshine. Depending how it goes, I might be adding more plants shortly. I need to do some trimming in my other tanks, so I should get some small plants out of it. Lol.

maybe you can add horned nerite snail will look cute in your tank.

im not sure if we have those here, but i may check into it. never really liked the idea of keeping snails. or shrimp for that matter. but i guess your options are pretty limited for a planted cup. lol

cherry shrimp/crs are not able to import here, so i may just get a couple of ghost shrimp, or wild caught red shrimp if i can find some.
