Hi all,
Just curious as to whether or not this would be a viable setup:
I'm planning to house three adult C. Orientalis in a 10 gallon tank. The tank would be heavily planted with Elodea, Java moss, and Cabomba. The tank will have very little dry land, and all emergent pieces will be covered in the Java moss.
The water depth will be 9". Because I won't be using a filter in this tank, I'll be making 10% water changes every other day. I'm also planning on a thin gravel layer to aid in biological filtration as well as for aesthetics.
I live in San Francisco. During the Winter, the temperature ranges from 67 degrees in the day, to 45 at night. In the Summer, it can get as high as 80 in the day and 65 at night. I plan on using frozen 500 ml water bottles to keep the temperature down during the Summer months.
Please let me know what you think of this setup. Critiques and comments are appreciated
