  • Hello again, ideas please

    Hello all. Its been awhile. Looks like i may be getting back into the scene again, but at a much smaller size. I am looking to go with an Eclipse or Nano 12 gal setup. I am looking for ideas on what to stock if i go this route. I need small fish that are nice to look at but dont want to go with any type of betta. I do want a small puffer or two and i was thinking of a calvus, being since they dont grow very fast at all. I will also put a bristlenose pleco to clean. Any ideas are welcome. Anyone that has an Eclipse or Nano setup that they want to part with, let me know. Thanks.

    If it were me I would get the Nanocube and upgrade the lighting and do a planted tank.

    Or upgrade the thing to metal halide, much larger pump, compat flourescent,s, Moonlights, chiller, skimmer, fuge light and do a reef setup!

      how about a planted shrimp tank? alot of the smaller tetras would look nice in there as well...

      Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
      Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.

          i think a planted shrimp tank would be cool too. some of the smaller rainbows would look great too, threadfins, or celebes, in a 12 you could even get away with a few praecox.
