PostSubject: my 20 L freshwater   my 20 L freshwater EmptyMon Nov 21, 2011 12:18 am

In the fishtank I have:
3 congo tetras
2 ottos
1 reticulated hillstream loach
2 blueberry shrimp
2 crystal red shrimp
6 zebra danios (3albino)
1 yellow spiny eel
a growing population of ramshorn snails

as for plants i have
1 dwarf lily
1 ammannia sulawesi
3 pads of fissidens fontanus
some corkscrew vall
3 crypt wendtii
3 banana plants
some java moss

On the plants, I am not entirely positive on some of the plants.. I would love it if you guys could help me ID some of the plants, I think I have ludwigia in there as well but not sure what kind it is, and I would like to know what type of plant the broad-leaved green ones I have on the far left and right sides of the tank are. I can take better pictures eventually, but this is all i got for now

Thanks alot! and yes, surprisingly I have not seen the eel pay any attention to the shrimp. I was kindof expecting it to go for the crystal red shrimp because they are small, but I have seen all the shrimp hanging out over the last few days. I have seen it eat some frozen bloodworms that made it to the bottom, but I plan to get some live ones to make it more fun for everyone. As you mentioned on another post, I have some plants to trade if you are interested.. I know that AH has most of them because thats where I got them, but I can part with a pad of the Fissidens fontanus moss and one of those small pads of the Eleocharis acicularis if you would be interested. I am going to try and propagate the Ammannia sulawesi a few times before I can trade those away. I definately need another rock or two, but just haven't been able to decide on a layout haha

Thanks alot man! It has actually changed quite a bit, I am waiting on a few new plants to get here and I have added a few new fish after some unfortunate losses, and the other fish have grown quite a bit. I am hoping to get some pictures up next week
