I am New
Hello I am Mfinch from Regina Saskatchewan Canada. I am currently on my 4th aquarium. I have had phrianas and various types of chiclids before. My new aqurium is a little diffrent.
Size 20 Gallon
sub strait: Subsoil, topsoil, peat moss and gravel.
all live plants:(DIY C02) java moss, Green Jungle (Vallisneria sp.), Corkscrew Vallisneria (Vallisneria torta) and Cabomba Green (Cabomba carolina).
Inhabitants:
10 ghost shrimp(not sure how many i can have - advice welcomed.)
2 guppies.
Daphnia
I am looking for other options that will produce food for my guppies or a fish that will only eat plants.

Welcome to the AC Mfinch.
10 Ghost shrimp in a 20 gallon with all those plants leaves you room for a lot more.
How's the weather out West?
Posting in the correct section of the forum will get you better answers as Cliff said.Warning; Bulldog Pleco guarding my Sons tank now..
Please remember; every keystroke has a consequence.
