Hello,
I'm new to this forum and I wanted to see if I could get some advice from some experts. I'm in the process of setting up a S. American Leaf Fish (Monocirrhus mimophyllus) tank. The tank is 48L x 18D x 16T (65g). I will probably have 4-6 Leaf Fish. The tank will mostly be dead leaves on branches and driftwood and rocks, with some kind of floating vetegation shading most of the surface. Also, 25% of the tank will have dense vegetation. That means about 50% the substrate, which is very dark in color, will be visible. Just trying to give you an idea of what the habitat looks like.
Anyway, I've considered different fish and invertebrates but none of them feel like a good match. So here are my questions:
1. What should I add to the tank? I'd love to add an interesting or active invertebrate.
2. What is some good vegetation to use?
Thanks Again!
