Hi there~ newbie there  and i need some help~  i have 4 guppies (3 male 1 female) and Corydoras Trilineatus in 1.82 gallons of water (6.89 litre). my picture as below  i just started about 1 week ago and my interior design is totally crappy as i have to idea how to make it better. for temporary i put what i have in my tank. close up picture below.  i saw all of the pictures and it is awesome.  but what i fear is that how often need to do water change with all the landscape and i am worry of the fish poop (after equip with full landscape) where currently the filter doesn't clean all of it and some stuck under the paip or plants  sorry for being a total noob~ thus i would love to have some suggestion on the plants/landscape that is easily manage. thank you everyone |

They have different shapes and growth patterns. But I feel Java moss would be great for starters, they are very hardy and they stick to any surface after a while. For spiky moss, if you let it grow too thick, the bottom part will die off and it'll start floating around. Moss in my opinion is already quite hardy, I can keep them with hardly any sunlight for 2 months, and they will still be green and I still reuse them...

No need to suck up the poop also, we just let it break down and dissolve by itself, once you put in the soil or gravel, you won't be able to find the poop at all. The landscape we only move when we want a different look.
Added on September 17, 2011, 9:15 pmWe'll be of very limited help here. Cause the focus here is aquascaping, and big fish will tend to ruin everything we try to achieved. Most of the fish we keep don't grow more than 3 inch IMHO. thanks for your advise~ is black sand enuf or recommended add on with others? is the carpet for planted aquarium hard to make and suitable or not for my size of tank (6" height x 7" width x 10" length)?
