My danios getting a new home!

[katkin]

I’ve just picked up a 4ft tank off ebay for £21(bargain) and will, when I have time, be turning it into my danios new home with a few ottos to help with any algae and probably my pair of clown killies. So in total there will be 18 danios, 3-4 ottos and two killies. At the moment they are split between two 2ft tanks. (which will become, fry/hospital tanks)

Now here’s the fun part…suggestions please on the best way to plant it.
I have plenty of bogwood, java fern, java moss, anubias- low light plants in one of the tanks, but the other has things like wisteria, hair grass, and a few others I don’t know the names of which all could do with a much brighter light.

Should I stick with the low light approach or go for high tech planted?

Any help greatly appreciated, and lists of suitable plants.
Cheers everyone.

I had a look at that, what is the website? There are three pages in that post are all three displayed? Do you know if these plants are widely available or should I just try for something similar?
Cheers

Hi Katkin,

Don’t think they need to be that specific. These fish are not too picky, so you have some leeway in picking the plants you think will make your tank look nice. It’s a bonus if they’re close enough to what’s in their natural habitat.

It sounds like other forum members have successfully bred their fishes regardless of the type of plants in their tank.

In my tank, the plants are nothing like those from their origin. However, they haven’t spawned yet, so maybe that’s a factor.

I got that screenshot from the Petfrd.com forum, try looking for more info there if you’re still curious.
