Has anyone tried a cold-water planted nano?
I have cycled a small tank (25L/6gallon) and have 16W of light and a big (for this tank) external filter (recycled from my 'normal' planted tank) and I'm looking to stock it pretty soon. I was thinking of a shoal of white cloud minnow but I'm a bit stuck about algae eaters. Are there any small cold water algae eaters?
Any other info would be welcome too - I can't find much on the web at all! I'm trying my tropical plants in it at the moment (vallis, sag, anubis and crypts) and hope that they should do OK at room temp? It will get pretty cold in winter as the tank is in my classroom (I'm a teacher) and they turn the heating off at Christmas etc.
Oh, and I have lots of cherry red shrimps in my planted tank - will they survive in a room temp tank?
Thanks in advance
