Hi All,
For years I've wanted to try creating a British River Biotope. I have now bought a cheap tank second hand (Pets at Home Love Fish Panorama 64) to do one in whilst leaving my TMC signature tank as is.
Having got the tank I've found the filter is reviewed poorly so i have now replaced with a Fluval U2.
Anyway, given the basic spec of the tank (1 LED strip light) and the fact that I'd like it to be as low tech as poss (Profito and Easy Carbo only)... Can anyone suggest any plants that would suit a British Stream Biotope that are easily obtained and easily kept?
I was thinking about taking some cuttings of wild aquatic plants in a local isolated stream but I'm not sure on the legalities. Also I've found a local supplier of Elodea Crispa plant and Sticklebacks. Ill add some hairgrass from my high tech tank. Just need a few more ideas
