thought i'd share this find guys, for anyone considering low maintenance carpets in their nano aquascapes. Moss on pads can be purchased cheaply, i've ordered a small amount and hopefully will be able to add pics to the forum soon.

Examples like the pic below (not mine); show just what you can do with low tech aquariums, looks like an 8 inch square cube, with moss carpet pad, anubias petite; and perhaps needle java fern at the back. View attachment 1200741

That is awesome. I'm going to give moss a shot. Any other low maintenance plants to recommend? Not even sure what my LFS has but I'll have a look

If you said that tank was yours the only reason that I wouldn't believe you would be that I've already seen that picture on another website.

Anubias and java fern species. Look for anubias sp. Nana since it has the smallest leaves

JoeBoxer this. I'd also look for bucephalandra, anubias petite, another cracker is microsorum pteropus trident, just google image it for what can be done with it

If you want super tiny anubias, a new variety "pangolino" is on the market

Me and a friend are doing a light (not too grand) scape for our bio teacher who has a hexagon tank no bigger than 80 litres. She used to have 3 goldfish about 4" in there, they could barely move. Luckily her son took them to his pond.

We are just replacing the blue gravel with small natural gravel, some smooth rocks and seachem stability to start the filter.

Next week we are bringing some easy plants and driftwood and the teacher is getting a heater, proper light and a few guppies. Hopefully it looks better and the fish will live better

Lets see how this turns out

Basic idea of it. Still need wood plants n fish
Edit that is a fake plant there

 

[ehh]

But can this thread hit 100 pages?

If everyone adds on to it once they get a nano tank, then I don't see why not.

Are any of the fish I was looking at wc?
