Bluespotted Sunfish Biotope?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Thanks for the link Noto. Out of my list all are native except the dwarf clover, that is an introduced species. There are also lots of different pondweed species. I think it is sago pondweed, but not sure. But the good thing is almost all the of species are native, except maybe a few and they are more easy to tell. Like the ruffled pondweed I know is non native. Also I need to look at my anacharis a little closer and see if it is the exotic one or the native. I also have 2 kinds. One is your regular looking and this other one is sort of a ruffled look. I remember I bought it at a fish store and they had a fancy name for it like fern leaf anacharis or something.
 
Here is a great link on Anacharis http://www.huimeiyoga.com/photo/Elodea . Of the 2 I have I think both are NOT real anacharis. One of them has 4 whorls and the other has many whorls. What is confusing is other pics I look at of Elodea canadensis they show pics of or like the other 2. But I guess those people are not aware they don't have the real deal.
 
Still in the process of making this a true biotope. Just trying to get my hands on native anacharis and some vals. The plants will be dwarf sag, hornwort, pondweed, anacharis, and vallisneria americana. After that I will get some pics up and maybe a video. I may say the hell with the anacharis, it is getting hard to find. I messaged a few people on aquabid and asked questions about theirs and while they say that it is the true anacharis I don't trust them. I may get some green cabomba instead. other than that the fish are getting a little bigger and not really shy anymore. They even sometimes come up to the glass or the top when they see me.
