When planting for the first time especially the plants with short roots, MAKE SURE you don't have fishes that like to disturb the substrate, example: bandaraya or bottom dwellers (fishes with the mouth facing downwards). If your substrate is light then some fauna with claws will also uproot your plants, when they pick up the substrate to release food entrapped between the substrate.

Nano aquariums are aquariums that are smaller than 1 feet. Look at this http://www.aquatic-eden.com/2008/01/nano-a...ium-update.htmlto get an idea

zoe: I have no idea what mouse fishes are, but I guess they're bottom dwellers. Btw, what plants are those that always gets uprooted?

and bloody cold water!!! If no chiller, I think can forget about having Marimo ball (moss ball) in your tank. Nezu, true or not?

masterzyie: maybe you go Google for it first to look at the requirements before getting Marimo balls and investing heavy equipment (chiller). Look at it from this point of view, will it add to the aesthetics of your tank? Another point to consider is, lowering your temperature, 25-28C with air-conditioning or fan? Malaysia normal room temp is on average 30-33C. If your temp fluctuates between 25-30 then I guess its a fan you're using. Maximum cooling temp I can get is 25C with fan (and it doesn't matter how many fans I use). More fans means faster water evaporation for me.
