My first planted tank... 2.5 gallon

[Gruntking]

LOL not monster by any means, i know, but here are a couple shots of my 2.5 that i just planted today.

I picked up 3 of the plants at a neighborhood fish farm, and the anubis at petco.
The person in charge at the fish farm recommended for me to go with the ones on the left and the one on the right, not really sure what their called, but she did say they were easy to take care of and reproduced alot.

She also told me to get some seachem tablets to put under the gravel that give the plants nutrients.


Here are the inhabitants for now....(they will be moved to a 10/46/75 gallon if needed but right now their smaller than an inch total length.)

Let me know what you think of the tank, as well as any improvements or plants i should get/get rid of.

Hope you enjoyed the pics!

Looks great! The planted tank section is probably more suited for this post though.

is that pothos in the middle? I've always wanted to do a really small micro planted tank.

I believe the nana would do better attached to a piece of log or rock.

It's doing ok, it's alive, but not growing like crazy.

Tomorrow im planting a 10G! I might move the rams there when their bigger so they can have more space. This planting tank thing is addictive!
